NUWAYS A/K/A MAID-RITES
If you're anywhere from the midwest, you will be familiar with these "loose meat" sandwiches. I spent years looking for a recipe that duplicates what I remember eating while growing up. After much experimenting, my sisters and I finally declare this recipe as IT. I hope you think so too! UPDATE: I spent an afternoon with my Mom at the original Nuway location down on East Douglas in Wichita, KS and was able to refine the recipe a bit more after talking to someone who had worked there for years. I've adjusted the recipe to reflect the information I was given, to be more precise. I found they cook the meat at a high heat in a cast iron cooker, then hold it at around 200 degrees to serve the lunch crowd. I was told there is no seasoning in the meat, but that all the flavor is what is on the bun. I made these again to test that theory, and realized the dill pickles are salty enough that you don't need any extra seasoning. I orginally had counted the "holding" time and realized this actually only takes minutes to cook. Sometimes the best things are ultimately simple! These are the Real Deal.

Steps:
- Pour water into a cast iron pan.
- Add l lb. ground beef and keep stirring until meat is broken into very small pieces.
- Bring to a boil and cook until water is reduced by half. (What happens is the beef browns, breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces, and becomes tender, while the water reduces and packs in the flavor. The fat is left in the water, not on the beef, while the beef is juicy.).
- Ready the buns with French's mustard, and a large dill pickle slice, Dice an onion and pull out a slice of American cheese.
- Dip a 1/2 cup strainer into the beef mixture, push the liquid through it with a spoon to the desired "juiciness". Fry separately in a cast iron skillet for a few minutes, until the beef is lightly browned. Salt the meat; add the diced onions and cheese. Put the buns together and cut in two pieces.
- Cover the hot sandwich (with a deep lid or bowl, or wrap in waxed paper) for a couple of minutes to steam the bun and allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve immediately with a cold root beer, and blast your way to the past!

MAID-RITE'S
Traditional Maid-Rites from Marshalltown Iowa were served with only yellow mustard, pickle and onion. Ketchup was taken off the counters because the 'hobos' would take the ketchup to make tomato soup back when the restaurant first started. (A history lesson, who knew.) Here's the copycat version of maid-rites.

MAID-RITES (SLOPPY JOES)
A family favorite- I ate these growing up in the 1960's. My mother called them Maid-Rites but they are a cross between a Maid-Rite and a Sloppy Joe. I've tried many similar recipes over the years but keep coming back to this one. My kids say it's the best one and I have to agree. Savory, juicy, simple and fast. What more could you ask for?

IOWA MAID-RITES
I came up with my own version of Iowa MaidRites which also are called 'loose meat' sandwiches. Very versatile, leftover beef can be used for spaghetti or taco filling, or it can be frozen for later use.

ANOTHER LOOSE MEAT (MAID-RITE) RECIPE
Another midwesterner here whose family loves these little gems. This recipe came from a 'best loosemeat recipe' contest in Iowa and this is the winner. My favorite as well ! The chicken broth gives it a very nice flavor.
