Loose Meat Sandwich (Maid Rite copycat)

2 tbsp butter

1/2 onion diced

1 lb ground beef 75/25 (you want the higher fat over lean, this was made in the 1920’s and that’s all they had then. Plus it breaks up easier)

1 tbsp worcheshire

2 cups water

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tbsp root beer concentrate or 1 can of root beer (but has added things like carbonation so may not be exactly like this) (I got my concentrate on Amazon came within 1 day, can use for other recipes with glazes)

1. Melt butter on med. low hwwt then add in onions to soften for a few minutes.

2. Turn up heat to high. Add in ground beef and break it up and cover with around 2 cups of water till it’s covered, you are boiling it, so continue to break it up as finely as you can till it reaches a boil.

3. Then cover and cook till no longer pink.

4. Drain the excess fat/liquid.

5. Add worcheshire, salt, pepper, root beer concentrate and simmer till we’ll combined about 10-20 minutes.

6. Serve over pickles on a regular hamburger bun.

7. Traditional maid rites has no ketchup and no mustard.
