What I like about this is you can make a super juicy meat mixture even if you use lean ground beef because of the sauce you add and stock. With regular burgers you need high fat content to get a juicy tasty burg
Adding a baking soda and water solution to ground beef can make it more tender and juicier. The solution raises the pH of the meat, which alters the charge of the muscle filaments. This causes the filaments to repel each other, which keeps them apart during cooking. This means the meat doesn't squeeze out moisture
Native Iowan Growing up consuming these regularly. Homemade. My mom would add a can of Campbell Gumbo soup. We lovingly referred to them as Gumbo Burgers. Served with the same fixins. And of coarse plenty of fresh Sweet Kern for a summer dinner. Try it. You wont be disappointed.
This is one of the best Maid-Rite recipes I've seen on RU-vid, so congrats & thank you for that! So, the original Maid-Rite recipe was best preserved at Taylor's Maid-Rite in Marshalltown. The other people losing it over your recipe are likely used to the newer, revised version at the many other (inferior, imo) chains present across Iowa. There are a few tricks of the trade here, but first off, no other seasoning besides salt (and mustard later) is needed. Definitely no Worcestershire sauce in the OG recipe. The primary key here is the quality of the meat you use. The meat should essentially steam itself to become super tender - and the finer you chop the onion, the better. The onion should be infused throughout the meat and the liquid sauce/fat from the beef. Also, the two primary ways of serving are 1) taking the meat directly from the pot with a small amount of the juices to lightly soak into the bun, or 2) taking meat from the juice and grilling it on a griddle. Generally, you do not want to evaporate all the liquid. Just take out the meat and griddle it a bit, but leave the liquid. Last, no cheese. You can if you want, but the OG recipe is no cheese - again, the meat mixture should stand on its own, so adding cheese wouldn't really be necessary if you....Maid it Rite...
As a born & raised Iowan I’ve had lots of Maid-Rites. I’ve tried different copy cats & will try yours, hoping to find the right combination. The original had secret ingredients. My closest restaurant is in Lexington MO. I will be going soon to satisfy my desire for the real deal. Enjoyed your video. 👍🏼
When you get to do West Virginia you should look into pepperoni rolls. I've seen you do a similar bread dough in a few videos. There are very few foods that are state wide. The only other i can think of would be our hotdog sauce. It's not a chili based sauce. It's ketchup and mustard and onion (including those dried ones that give a distinct flavor) boiled with ground beef. But the pep rolls are the main.
Iowan here, good rendition of a maid rite however I think the key to getting that sauciness you talked about in the beginning is adding the cheese to the beef while it’s cooking, you can get creative with that too, my family will add western dressing and ketchup right to the beef so assembling is even easier, pickles however are a must
What are you gonna cook for Oregon? For years I’ve been trying to figure out what our regional specialty food is? Salmon? Bacon covered donuts? Tweeked out homeless people?
Bro... A Suggestion/important suggestion.!!.. Did you noticed that in other videos you have 8k, 10k, 14k, 20k,..... Views but in butter chicken video you have literally 800k+ views.... So, Now you know, Just start making Indian dishes as much as possible(especially non-veg) if you want rapid growth of your channel😉. And Love from India...🧡🧡. Also hit like comment if you read it otherwise I will keep commenting again...😅😅
As an Iowan. Get this straight. The maid rite is not our favorite sandwich! Heck for me personally I consider it to be about the trashiest sandwich ever. Just thinking about this makes me want to vomit.
