Loose Meat Sandwiches

"These taste like a good old fashioned hamburger. They are so good! We usually double the recipe and use the meat in Stuffed baked potatoes on the second night."

directions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook onions until brown and carmelized. Add ground beef and cook until brown.
  • Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and beef broth to cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until broth is gone, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve meat on buns topped with dill pickle slices and mustard.
  • *We steam the buns on top of the meat (with lid on skillet) for a minute or two to get them nice and soft.

  1. Can I just say how much I Love this sandwich!! It tastes just like a maid rite from my childhood. I used ground turkey instead of beef but with the beef broth and Monterey steak seasoning it tasted just like beef. Yum!! Thanks for the recipe and turkey was a great modification to make it a little healthier.
     
  2. Love loose meat sandwiches!! I had to modify a little to use what I had on hand, 1 Tbl dried onions instead of fresh and beef bouillon dissolved in hot water for the broth. Per personal tastes, I decreased the amount of garlic powder, added 1 tsp sugar, and 2 tsp Kitchen Bouquet for a better color. And yes, "steamed" buns make all the difference! Dill pickle slices, yellow mustard, and finely diced onions are our toppings of choice.
     
  3. This is so good. I have not had a loose meat sandwich before. I can't wait to try one the next time I'm on vacation. Hope I can fInd a place serving them. There's no place around here.
     
  4. Loved this VERY SIMPLE recipe. It is just loose flavorful hamburger and the mustard and pickles are perfect. The beef broth really gives the hamburger flavor, and although I didn't use cheese on my sandwich, I think it might be what some think is missing in the flavor.<br/>I was not looking for another "sloppy jo" taste, so wasn't expecting lots of spice like others did. <br/>I am happy to give this 5* ..... we really enjoyed the sandwich. <br/>Donna
     
  5. I'm sorry I have to say this, but my husband and I didn't care for this sandwich. We both thought it was rather bland. I added some dried mustard, chili powder, and more garlic powder. I also ended up cooking the meat/broth mixture for 45 minutes, in order to reduce the broth. I also found I much prefer this served in hot dog buns, and with a bit of pickled relish rather than sliced dill pickles.
