CROCK POT IOWA MAID-RITES (JONNA LUND)
Steps:
- Add the first nine ingredients to the crock pot. Stir together to combine ingredients and break up the ground beef. Cook on high for 4 hours. Stir occasionally to combine ingredients as they cook and to keep the beef from clumping together. The smell that emerges from the crock pot each time you stir it is to die for! Serve on hamburger buns...don't be shy, the messier it is the more authentic the sandwich! Serve with condiments of your choice but remember the traditional condiments are pickles and mustard which I highly recommend. Enjoy!!!

MAID RITES (LOOSE MEAT SANDWICHES)
If you have ever been to the Mid-West or watched Rosanne you probably have heard of Maid-Rite also known as the loose meat sandwich. It's a kind of sloppy joe without the red sauce. It is served with mustard, pickle and onion but I do like mine with ketchup on it too. Not sure where this recipe comes from originally....
