Maid Rites

1lb Lean Ground Beef

1C Water

1/4 C Chicken Broth

1/4 tsp Salt

4 Hamburger buns

Yellow mustard

Minced white onion

Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Use a potato masher to help get the ground beef into small pieces. Drain any excess fat. As soon as all the pink in the meat is gone add 1 Cup of water and 1/4 Cup of chicken broth plus 1/4 tsp salt. Simmer the meat uncovered for one hour or until all the liquid is gone, stirring every 10 minutes or so.

Build each sandwich by pressing the hot ground beef into a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Dump the meat onto the bottom of a plain hamburger bun. Add mustard on the top bun, along with pickles and minced onion if desired. Put the sandwich together and heat in microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm the buns.

Makes four sandwiches.

Can also try using Lipton Onion Soup mix instead of chicken broth. Try Worcestershire sauce or 2 tsp sugar to 1 tsp pepper. Another possibility is coke syrup.

Of course!

Well, I was. I was raised there but live in AZ now.

I am sitting here right now looking at my Montgomery Maid Rite, Grinnell Iowa coffee mug!

HA! I'm originally from Johnston.

This recipe sounds a lot like the White Castle hamburger recipe. I can't wait to try it.
