As a boy in North Missouri many years ago, there was a Maid-Rite shop across the street from the high school. Most days, my lunch consisted of two Maid-Rites, French fries and a Coke. Wonderful place to dine with classmates.
Ingredients
2 lb. lean hamburger (93% lean is preferred)
1 can Campbell's chicken gumbo soup
1 small onion, diced
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard (or 1/2 tsp. bottled mustard)
1 tsp. flour
1/2 cup catsup
8 hamburger buns
Directions
Brown and drain hamburger. Add diced onions and saute until they are translucent. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer a couple of minutes. Serve loosely on buns.
Iowa natives usually top their Maid-Rites with a little salt, mustard and dill pickles.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Provide each dining guest with a spoon, to scoop up all that tasty loose beef that spills out of the bun and onto the plate! Enjoy!
