Рецепт Mushroom Onion Hamburger

by Christine Lamb

In Iowa, the regional sandwich of choice is the “loose meat.

“This unique sandwich is also known as a "Maid-Rite," because it is

most associated with the 85 year old Maid Rite chain, which probably invented

it. The company is based in Iowa but now has more than 80 locations all

throughout the Midwest, Plains states and Texas.

Today, Maid Rite has gone a bit corporate in trying to

compete with the national chains, and its lengthy menu includes not only

classic loose meat sandwiches, but variations including Philly, chili, bacon,

and much more, and unrelated dishes like corn dogs, fish sandwiches, burritos, sweet

potato fries, taco salads, and even a loose meat wrap. Several locations offer

a large barbecue menu as well, with pulled-pork sandwiches.

Depending on your perspective, the loose meat sandwich is

either an unformed hamburger or a sloppy Joe without the sauce. It is

simplicity itself, ground beef cooked while being constantly stirred and mixed

on a special sloped griddle that lets grease drain, with finely minced onion

and nothing else.

If you are

not crazy about sloppy Joes, you will love this recipe Mushroom Onion

Hamburger.
