Never ate one in Iowa, but to me, it tasted like a steak sandwich of sorts. My bf and I gobbled them up! I chopped a large onion, used ground round, beef stock, garlic powder, S&P, and worcestershire sauce. Cooked it down to almost dry, and they were scrumptious. We ate them on fresh onion buns. It was a spur of the moment late dinner, but we loved it.

As a mid-westerner, I am familiar with the maid-rite. This version is close to the original and very good. The flavors are very subtle

Although it is a good maid rite recipe, it doesn't come close to the Maid Rites served here in my area. I am located in the Quad City area...famous for Maid Rites. Substitute the onion soup mix and french onion soup for chicken broth and add minced onion.

I am from Iowa and I live in Tulsa now, Maid-Rites are the best thing next to Tenderloins and this recipe was the futherest thing from them. It is way to intense!!! If you ever give it another go I would love to try it!!!

Followed the recipe, but simmered for longer than stated. Had to add water as it simmered which seemed to be exactly what was needed. The added water kind of toned down the strong flavors. My husband & I are both Iowan's, born & raised, & this recipe brings home a little closer!

These were really great. I wasn't clear on adding water or, not to the recipe if I used a slow cooker? I did, and they had too much liquid. Does anyone know about this? They were even better the second time around because four pounds of meat is quite alot for a small family and the liquid absorbed. Adding salt, if your diet allows it also made it tastier.

Not a MaidRite. I don't think it comes close. Nice meat and onion flavor. It will get eaten up.

My kids loved the meat and ate it straight from the pan because they didn't want bread. I thought it was just Okay.

I have never had an Iowa Maid-Rites... so I cannot compare them to that. However, THIS sandwich was extremely tasty. I am single, so I made it as is and then I am about to freeze it. Later, with a little diced tomato and chiles, a great little nacho plate. I love it! GREAT JOB!

I'm sorry- but I live in Iowa, and these are not like the maid rites I know. Still it was a good loose meat sandwich- but not the maid rite flavor I was expecting. My mom is a manager at a maid rite, and I asked her if this was even close- and it isn't, although she wouldn't tell me anymore than that.

This was wonderful! I grew up in Iowa and remember Maidrites well. I used one can only of French onion soup, and added 1/2 cup water. My boyfriend & a friend ate almost all of it, I was lucky I got one sandwich but it was perfect. Very easy and tastes great!
