Steps:

• Soak the dried onions in the water.
• Crumble ground beef into a hot skillet and cook over medium high heat.

Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes longer. Serve on warmed buns.

Steps:

• Cover slow cooker and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to break up ground beef. After 1 hour of cook time, remove lid and continue cooking on high for 2 ½ - 3 hours, until most of the liquid has cooked off. Continue to stir occasionally and break up any chunks of beef.

LOOSE MEAT SANDWICH (MAID-RITE COPYCAT)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine beef, water, mustard, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes, breaking up clumps of meat with a spoon.
• Drain the fat if desired (I don't, and it is closer to the original recipe if you don't, but you can if you want). Stir in onion and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper).
• Serve meat on buns with toppings on the side such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and pickles.
