Some of the best burgers out there! From the Midwest, specifically Iowa and western IL. What is a Maid-Rite? It's not a Sloppy Joe, but rather a season, loose-meat burger that's juicy and full of flavor. From Maid-Rite's website: "Our one and only Maid-Rite sandwich is a special cut and grind of low in calories 100 percent fresh ground beef, made to order with our secret combination of delicious seasoning. It is cooked to perfection, and then served on a warm bun. Our customers love to savor Maid-Rite sandwiches time and time again." Copycat Maid-Rites ~*Makes 8+ Burgers*~ 1 c. Water 1 Tbsp. Onion, diced 2 Beef Bouillon Cubes 2 Tbsp. Light Brown Sugar, packed 2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire 3 lb. Ground Beef, raw (at least 85% lean) 8 Hamburger Buns Toppings: Cheese, mustard, pickles, onions (yes, ketchup too) 1) Cook raw beef in a cast-iron skillet until brown.
2) While beef cooks, combine water, beef bouillon cubes, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce - stir (does not all need dissolved). 3) Add onion to beef, cook until tender 4) Add water/sauce mixture, bring to boil 5) Set burner/stove to medium-low, lid it and let it simmer until the juices reduce. If using a higher-fat meat, this will take longer and will not cook down all the way (will be extra juicy). 6) Stir and serve using a slotted spoon. Traditionally served on a bun with mustard, pickles and/or chopped onions. Ketchup is finally an offering now, and cheese is sometimes also added. Pickle-wise, I personally recommend Bread & Butter chips. :) Enjoy! -Moni Prefer to use a slow-cooker for this recipe? Click here for instructions and the original copycat recipe.
