Traditional Maid-Rites from Marshalltown Iowa were served with only yellow mustard, pickle and onion. Ketchup was taken off the counters because the 'hobos' would take the ketchup to make tomato soup back when the restaurant first started. (A history lesson, who knew.) Here's the copycat version of maid-rites. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (at least 15% fat) or 1 lb ground chuck (at least 15% fat) |
1 cup water |
1/4 cup beef broth |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 plain hamburger buns |
yellow mustard |
onion, minced |
dill pickles, sliced |
Directions:
1. Brown beef; use potato masher to help get beef into small pieces.
2. Drain excess fat as soon as pink is gone.
3. Add 1 cup water and 1/4 cup beef broth.
4. Simmer the meat uncovered for 1 hour or until liquid is gone, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
5. When liquid is gone, put meat on a bun and top with mustard, onion and dill pickle.
6. Enjoy.
