MAID RITE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown ground beef and onion over medium-high heat - chopping vigorously until the pieces are tiny
• Drain grease from ground beef
• Add bouillon, warm water, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire and soy sauce and bring to a boil
• Stir and continue to chop ground beef
• Reduce heat and simmer until liquid has evaporated
• In a separate skillet, warm bun lightly just so edges start to crisp. You can also do it in your air fryer or on a griddle top
• Top a heaping spoonful of meat onto cheap hamburger buns and top with pickles and mustard and you will be reveling in the delight of the Iowa Maid Rite!

CHURCH LADIES' HAM SALAD

• Place bologna in a food processor; process until well ground. Combine ground bologna with remaining ingredients except bread; mix well. Spread on half the bread slices; top with remaining bread slices. Tip: Bring along a variety of breads so everyone can choose their favorite for spreading with ham salad and sandwich spreads. Sliced bagels, Hawaiian sweet bread, party rye, pita pockets, wraps and hearty country white bread all make delicious sandwiches.
