I am a born and raised in Iowa. Still live in Iowa, my town still has a Maid Rite, that stay packed at lunch and dinner time. However, this is not a correct Iowa Maid Rite recipe. Iowa's Maid Rite are not sweet like these ones are. Iowa's Maid Rites are not sweet at all. This is more of a Sloppy Joe recipe for us Iowa folks. With that said this IS an awesome Sloppy Joe recipe, it is not too sweet like most are. I will be replacing this with my current recipe. My kids loved these and my two year old ate a whole sandwich. Glad I found this even though I was looking for a Maid Rite recipe :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-35483313965335925112012-09-27T08:58:15.035-07:002012-09-27T08:58:15.035-07:00I made these and they were very yummy!

If it were still summer, I would have served them with potato salad (I grew up with the notion that potato salad can only be served in summer - weird, eh?). I used very lean ground beef, but still found that the juices did not ever completely absorb, so I had to drain it a bit. I will make these again!

When she made them, she seasoned the ground beef with a can of Campbell's chicken gumbo soup (strange but true). These ingredients sound much more appealing and readily accessible.

I think the reason they are so good is that the beef in Iowa is corn fed and delish..But if you raise your own beef well you got the cream of the crop...most people cannot get the good stuff in urban places unless one is willing to go in with another family or if the family is huge buy a beef locally raised with no added chemicals fed on grass and out in a pristine pature and knowing the person who is raising it..then one can get some decent expensive beef and locally raised chickens too. Where I live Whole Foods will get you that beef for an enormous amount per pound dressed or New Seasons Market but most people cannot afford that so I take my hat off to you..Love your blog so so delish recipes and your musings are peaceful, kind & loving towards God and your family & others. Peaceful indeed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-67490731129352422752012-09-15T09:00:27.433-07:002012-09-15T09:00:27.433-07:00My version may be far from the 'real thing'...My version may be far from the 'real thing'...since I have never even visited a 'Maid-Rite' restaurant.

They are the thing I miss most about living there and the first meal I always have when we visit. My youngest son still lives there and ususally brings me some in a cooler when he visits KS. I can't imagine adding ketchup to these. In fact I know of at least two of the locations that don't even offer ketchup on the tables or in the establishment! Pickles are an optional addition but I much prefer onion. I think the original Maid-Rites are simply beef and minimal spicing. The secret is good quality beef. In Wichita KS you can find Nu-Way Burgers which was founded by an ex-Maid-Rite employee who moved to Kansas. I could eat a Maid-Rite every day (and frequently do when we go "home").Mary L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03793698241724691925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-47854439719815512512012-09-15T07:49:22.900-07:002012-09-15T07:49:22.900-07:00I'll have to try these! ;)I'll have to try these! ;)bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968732077743225057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-44350293820955191082012-09-15T07:17:33.981-07:002012-09-15T07:17:33.981-07:00Yes!
