I've never tried making this but I saw it being cooked while I was flipping channels the other day. Has anyone make these? It's not a Sloppy Joe. I think they started somewhere in Iowa back in the 20's
Mix catsup, mustard, creamy horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour this mixture over the raw ground beef in a large cooking pot. Fill the mixing bowl with 4 oz. of water and swish it around to get any sauce that remains in the bowl. Dump the water into the cooking pot with the beef mixture. Add the ground onion and cook over medium heat stirring constantly for 15 minutes. (This step can be a real strain on the arms and shoulders so make sure that the person with highest strength score gets this job!) Increase heat and boil for 25 minutes, simmer and serve.

I don't think this is the recipe that I saw on the Food Channel. It does look good though.
Anyone else have a recipe? This would be a good rainy day camp meal.
sounds interesting, although it DOES sound alot like a sloppy joe. Interesting to note the meat is not browned and the fat drained. I can't bring myself to do that.......
I believe you are referring to the Maid-Rite sandwich. We had shop in Goshen, Indiana as I grew up. The original sandwich was good, but no one could ever match their split, grilled hot dog on a burger bun. It must have been the built up grease on the griddle, that made them so good.
It was a sad day in the late 60's when they tore down the little resturarant for a International Truck dealership. The truck dealer lasted 20 years, now it's the site of a Bob Evans and Walgreens.

I make a sandwich spread similar to your loose meat. I boil the hamburger (I use the 96%lean sirloin) with some chopped onion, clove of chopped garlic and salt and pepper. After the meat is cooked, drain off all the excess water (get rid of a lot of the fat that way.) Then I add chopped pickle, onion, celery and mayonaise and salt and pepper to taste. Chill and then use as your lunch meat on your favorite bread.
I also use the boil method on my taco meat (meat, onion, garlic, jalpenos, oregano, salt pepper and any other seasoning you like.)I usually simmer till most of the water is gone. Makes for a moist instead of dry meat.
If you have ever been in Ottumwa, Iowa, check out the Canteen-In-The-Alley. Their loose-meat sandwiches consist of steamed burger, some salt, pepper and mustard on a giant hamburger bun. GOOD! Takes three hands to eat.
I found the recipe from the cooking show I was watching. I was just flipping channels, the other day, got to this show just before a commercial break. I kept flipping and found something else to watch. I forgot to turn back.
This is from Rachel Ray - 30 minute meals.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 1/4 pounds ground sirloin
1 cup chicken stock, eyeball it, 1/2 a 14-ounce can or box
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
4 burger buns, spilt, or kaiser rolls, split
1/2 yellow skinned onion, finely chopped
Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and meat to the pan and brown the meat, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add chicken stock to the meat. Season the meat with paprika, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. When the liquid comes to a bubble, reduce heat to simmer. Cook meat 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pile meat into buns or rolls and top with raw finely chopped onions.
I grew up on Maid Rites........since my family came from Iowa.....they were started in 1926........I have a Maid Rite Coffee mug sitting here on my desk
For christmas a few years ago I mail ordered a dozen sandwiches for my dad and had them Fed-Exed in......he had not been back there in many years so it was a nice surprise.....
We lived in KC MO, many years ago and, after we moved back to Gods Country I started missing Gates and Son's B-B-Q Sauce. I talked to my old next door neighbors and told them how much I wished I had some and they sent me two big ole bottles. Needless to say I used it sparingly for as long as I could make it last. If anyone living up there want to send me some let me know, I'll be glad to accept care packages.
Hey, I made the Rachel Ray recipe last night and it tasted pretty good. I used 1 1/2 tsp Tones Beef Base and two cups water instead of the chicken broth. I also sauteed onions in butter and used it for a topping. This would be an easy make ahead for camping.
Add catsup for sloppy joe's.
Add homemade chili mix for chili.
Add enchilada sauce for enchilada's.
