These are delicious! I'm from Iowa and I've had Maid-Rites but I was too young to remember what they were like, since the restaurant in my area closed when I was very young, but it doesn't matter because these are awesome either way. Thank you for the great recipe.

This is our new favorite maid-rite recipe. I'm from IA and must say that this reminds me of home. We don't stock our pantry w/ soup mix so we substituted fresh onion & garlic, salt, pepper and a little chicken stock. Delicious!

Pretty close, but not just as I remembered from my Iowa childhood. I add vinegar and fresh bread to thicken mine. No one refused to eat it!!!

For those who have brought up it in the revies that this doesn't come close to a "real" maidrite...if you read in my description it wasn't billed as being "authentic" but my OWN version. Just to clear up any confusion you might have. Thanks!

In comparison with an actual Maid Rite sandwich - it's completely different. Though give it a different name and it's an alright sandwich that's easy to make and takes very little time. We'll have these again, but I wont be calling them "Maid Rites"

Too much sour, salty onion flavor.

I'd never even heard of Maid-Rites until I stumbled across them on an unrelated web search, and had to try them. I had a can each of beefy mushroom and golden mushroom soup, so that's what went in the pot with the beef (seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder) and onion soup mix. 3 hours in the slow cooker and a little added beef broth yielded yummy tender meat, much better than what I thought initially looking at the simple ingredients. Not sure if the flavor is authentically Maid-Rite, but it sure tastes good!

Not even close to a true Iowa Maidrite sandwich. But they are tasty because of all the onion seasoning. Needs alot of tweaking to be useful in any other recipes though. Sorry.

Burlington born and raised. Have a "real" Maid-Rite close by so I presented this challenge: While my wife was busy with this receipe I actually went down to the corner and bought 2 "Real" Made-Rite sandwhiches. To wander a bit off subject, there is a reason the "real" made-Rite is called "Made-Rite"! For those that may be a little foggy in the head, that's a play on the phrase "Made Right". If you use this recipe, you WILL NOT have a "Made-Rite". You WILL have yet another persons idea of what 'might" be the made right Made-Rite receipe, but side by side this receipe doesn't cut it either. It WILL imitate the real thing, but it just isn't there.
