It was invented in IOWA. Roseanne's husband at the time, Tom Arnold is from Ottumwa, Iowa. It's trademark name is MAID-RITE so they couldn't use that. As long as I have lived, which is long, no one knows the recipe. There is no Cheyenne in it. Possibly onion powder, possibly dry mustard, possibly pickle juice. The meat is much looser. It is served on a fresh bun, not toasted with ketchup, mustard, dill pickle slices and chopped onions. There are very few Maid-Rites left in Iowa and anyone who has left the state wakes up in the middle of the night craving them. They are a bit greasy too, made with ground chuck. In Iowa it is well known they are absolutely the best cure for a hang over! Great try though!

I love every single one of your videos, but growing up on these sandwiches and living only a few miles from where they were originated, I have to say, this is one sandwich you did not do it justice. Real loosemeats have waaaaaay more ingredients and they take about 4 hours to make. If you are interested I could give you a recipe for a proper loosemeat if you are interested in trying one. I actually have a recipe from a local drive through that has served these for like 80 years. They are delicious.

I remember these loose meat sandwiches as MaidRites, which were delicious. There was something else in ingredients, but don't remember. They were cooked/steamed on flat top. It wasn't spooned on but smashed together with spatula and transferred to bun by being slapped on with spatula. Don't remember bits falling out. Shop was in New Ulm, MN. Miss them!

Boston! They stuff lobster in a roll, so I shouldn't expect such effete palates to embrace the down-home humbleness of a loose meat sandwich. Legend has it the loose meat sandwich (known in snootier circles as a tavern sandwich) was invented in 1924 by a man named Dave Higgin at Ye Olde Tavern in Sioux City, Iowa.

Yea, I'd rather have my hamburger not falling out all over the places. Sloppy Joe's makes sense flavor wise and stay on the bun somewhat. If I want a beef stock flavored burger I'll simmer my burger patty in some stock when it's half cooked. This just makes no sense to me. Crazy northerners: P

In Michigan these are usually on the menu at Coney dog places. The reason they don't fall out all over the place is that they come on hot dog buns, not hamburger buns. Usually you get mustard and onions on top but that idea with the dry casserole onions sounds awesome, might have to try it!

Made these for dinner with the kids a few weeks ago. Both enjoyed them. I added some shredded cheddar cheese toward the end of cooking. helped hold the meat together and added some kid-friendly flavor as well. Good stuff, Sam!

Reminds me of Maid-Rites they have back in Davenport Iowa where I grew up. The greasier the better! Oh Wait you need some crunchy dill pickles. I'm going to make one right now. My mouth is watering!
