Maid Rite Sandwiches

Never heard of these places until I moved to Central Illinois. I guess this is a Midwest thing? To be honest the first time I saw one I thought it was a cleaning service or a household appliance store. 

It's hard to find an appetizing picture of this... Just ground beef on a hamburger bun, and I topped it with ketchup and mustard.  And no, it's not sloppy joe-ish either.

My whole life just plain ground beef browned like this was the beginning of taco meat, chili, or a casserole. So I didn't want to try a Maid Rite sandwich for a long time. 

What made me break was the overflowing amount of venison in our deep freeze. By the way if you are local and would like to work something out, I would love to get rid of some deer burger and deer sausage!!

Got a recipe idea from my mother-in-law, this is what I did.

Venison Maid Rite's 

1 lb. ground beef

1 lb. deer burger

2 beef bouillon 

1/4 cup water

1/2 onion, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt & Pepper to taste

Brown everything together in a skillet over med-high heat. Let simmer until water dissipates. Put burger on some nice warm hamburger buns with desired toppings.  

So simple.. kind of a DUH recipe. 

I guess I'm sharing cause I was surprised that I liked the sandwich. It's an AWESOME way to get rid of deer burger, and a super easy dinner to make for the kiddo's. Yum Yum! Gets a few stars in my book :)
