Maid-Rite Sliders

Where did the Maid Rite Originate?

Well, there’s a little controversy over this. People in Newton, IA think they started it but I’m going with Wikipedia. There was a butcher in Muscatine, IA that combined a special cut and grind of meat with a selected set of spices and created the Iowa Maid Rite Sandwich – also known as a “loose meat sandwich”. The Maid-Rite sandwich’s meat is not formed into a patty – making it similar to a sloppy joe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 small white onion, minced
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 pack slider buns
  • 1/3 cup dill pickle slices
  • 6 slices American cheese

FOR THE BUTTER SAUCE

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

How To Make Maid-Rite Sliders

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large skillet, add the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking the meat apart well as it cooks.
  3. Drain grease, if needed, then add bouillon cube, water, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until liquid has evaporated.
  4. Place bottoms of the buns in a baking dish, and top with beef mixture. Place pickles on top, followed by cheese slices, and top with top of buns.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce and brush over buns.
  6. Cover baking dish with foil and bake 25 minutes. Enjoy!
