I see them cooking the pile of meat, but never preparing it... Annnnd, I always put ketchup on them. They ask if you want ketchup and I have always had them that way. Never heard anything about it.

    Great job Alanna. A bit of trivia. Some people refer to those no bake cookies as “preacher cookies.” They were called that because it is made with things that most people have in their pantry and they’re put together quickly. Meaning if the preacher called to say he was dropping by, they could be made and ready to serve before they got there

    When I was girl, we used to have a maid-rite restaurant in Scottsbluff Nebraska, which I enjoyed. But it has since closed down. I live in Western SD and do not know of any here. But once I ate at a Made-rite in Denver Colo. several years ago. I think you can look up the actual recipe on line. It has quite a few ingredients, but worth the effort. The meat has a creamy mustard taste, but pickles, onions and ketchup are added as topping before serving.

    We had a MAID RITE restaurant in my Home Town of Trenton Missouri when I was a kid growing up. It's not there anymore but it was still there until I was in my late 20s I believe. I ate there a few times as a kid and one time I remember going there with a coworker for lunch. Trenton is in North central Missouri about 30 miles from the Iowa border.

    As an Iowan I can say Maid-Rites are amazing, but never heard of putting any sugar in.
    My recipe is finely diced onions sautéed, hamburger added to the pan and browned, and then a can (15 oz.) of chicken broth added and cooked until evaporated off.
    Toppings can be pickles, slice of cheese (American cheese usually), mustard, ketchup.

Maid-Rite itself is at its best when you eat it at the restaurant with the 50s style diner vibe they have. Washed down with their homemade rootbeer. There’s two things in Iowa that are fact, the loose meat sandwich is king, and the Hawkeyes are better than the Cyclones.

    1. Great job Atlanta, per usual. 2. Shoutout to Edward! That cooktop is a great addition to ATL’s kitchen. 3. This “state food” story comes w a bit of controversy. While the “Maid Rite” - w its finely ground beef & secretive blend of ingredients - was invented in 1926 in Muscatine in the SE corner of Iowa, some ppl say the loose meat sandwich was actually invented a few years earlier in Sioux City in the NW corner of Iowa. Specifically at the Ye Olde Tavern bar & grill - hence the name for loose meat sandwiches used in western Iowa: the “tavern.” Whichever came first, the sandwich is basically finely ground beef sautéed or steamed w onions & various spices, plus mustard. And then everyone tweaks the recipe from there. But one thing you always need: top w pickles!! 4. Lastly, you need to try the true Iowa dessert: Scotcheroos. They’re like Rice Krispie treats - but with melted Karo syrup & peanut butter instead of marshmallow - and a top layer of melted chocolate & butterscotch chips that cools and hardens. So good.

    So I worked my first job at an actual Maid Rite. We browned the meat in a special table. After it was done cooking we took most of the fat out with a turkey baster. Then we added the secret recipe of the Maid Rite seasoning. Which did have the ingredients on it. It has about 20 ingredients. The top main ones were salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper. So when I make mine at home I use beef base, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. No salt because it's already in the soup base. Every thing that they would put on the bun was ketchup, mustard, chopped raw onions, and pickles.

    I live in Iowa and love all the things you made today. I have to say though I make my no bake cookies I increase cocoa by 2 tsp and peanut butter to one cup. I decrease the sugar to 1.5 cups. I like them better that way. I dont refrigerate them. I leave on the stove turned to medium when adding PB and oats for 30 to 45 secs. and then they will firm up as they cool.

    Hi all! I'm from the QCA (on the IL/IA border). The only spices I use in my recipe are: salt, pepper and garlic powder. I don't add ketchup to the recipe, nor do I use white bread. Mustard and pickles or relish before it's eaten. The onions look good. (P.S. Everyone either cuts themselves or almost does it when cutting onions). ❤️👍🏼 Like you said/read, everyone has their own recipe. ❤️ #sendingyoupostcardssoon

    My mother is from Iowa and we cook the meat differently. We put water in a pan and then put a pot with beef in the water to cook. You don't need to add water directly to the meat at all. Essentially double boiling the meat.

    So glad you finally got to Iowa food. Maid-Rites are a great choice (many might say a pork tenderloin sandwich, which is impressive, with the meat often being several inches wider than the bun; however, I think my "Iowa card" may be revoked, because I just don't like them at all!)!
    I hope if you make it back over to the states someday, you will come to Iowa (especially at State Fair time). We adore your family and enjoy seeing how much Atlanta and Denzel are growing and sharing their skills and personalities.

    YAY! Iowa! I'm so glad you liked our sandwich! My hubby uses a slightly different recipe with no mustard or ketchup in the meat, just the spices, brown sugar and beef and chicken boillon. He makes it in our slow cooker and lets it cook on low for 3 hours. It melts in your mouth by the time you get done! And you can add ketchup to the finished sandwich, its considered fax paus to add it while cooking, though. You can also add a slice of cheese on top when you serve *chefs kiss*
    If you ever get to Iowa, there are Maid Rites everywhere, but the one in downtown Marion is world famous. People come from all over for that restaurant. They also serve homemade pie. And Pork Tenderloins!

And if you watch the movie "Tombstone", Wyatt Earp and his brothers lived in Pella Iowa. The bad guys...the McLaury brothers that were killed in the world famous gunfight.. they grew up around 90 miles from the Earps, in Iowa. Other famous Iowans whether by birth or by relocating includes: John Wayne, Johnny Carson, Ashton Kutcher, Elijah Woods, Brendon Roth, Jason Momoa, etc. Yep, at one time Superman and Aquaman played on the same high school soccer team in Des Moines Iowa.

    I was raised in Iowa. The maid rite was a popular sandwich to make by groups to sell at county fairs or fundraisers as the loose meat could easily be made in volume and kept warm in large electric roasters. I recently found a crockpot recipe for Maid Rites. It made a large batch I may make it and try to freeze smaller portions for later use!

    The no bake cookies are so good and there are small differences in the recipe that I use. All ingredients are the same, except up the oats to 3 cups. Then the biggest thing that I do differently is to set the timer for 2 and a half minutes (no more, no less, constant stirring) once it’s at a rolling/rapid boil. I also add the vanilla after the boiling, not before. They should set up pretty quickly, no need for the fridge. And yes, they are addictive, so these are usually holiday time treats. Love your videos!

    When I was a kid we had neighbors that were from Iowa. She shared her Maid Rite recipe and that became our go to sandwich. I never liked sloppy Joes because they were too sweet and caustic for my taste. Here is Erma's recipe:
    Cook down onion and hamburger. Drain any fat. Add equal parts ketchup and mustard and a can of Campbell's chicken gumbo soup. Sounds weird but its good! Let it cook down for a bit and serve on a bun! She had 6 kids and made these often. Of course increase quantities if using more loose meat.
    I also love the no bake cookies! Im lazy though, I don't make individual cookies. I spread the mixture in a Pyrex dish, let them cool a bit and cut them. Sooo good!
