Loosemeat Sandwiches or Maid-Rites

85% lean hamburger

cooking oil

reduced sodium chicken broth

Garlic powder

Pepper

Salt

Pickle slices

Mustard

Hamburger buns

Cooking Directions:

Heat skillet over medium heat.

Add cooking oil and onion.

Cook, stirring with wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes (until onions start to soften).

Crumble in the ground beef and brown.

Add about ¾ of the chicken broth, a few generous shakes of garlic powder and several shakes of pepper (I also like to pour in a tablespoon or so of the pickle juice for a hint of acid).

Simmer until the mix is “clumpy” not “sloppy” or wet. Taste and add salt if needed.

If the mix gets too “dry” from simmering too long, add remainder of broth.

Spoon on buns, add some pickle slices and a bit of mustard.
