Tasty Loose Meat Sandwiches
I discovered the concept of the loose meat sandwich from watching an episode of the Roseanne show about 18 years ago. Loose meat sandwiches are a tasty change once in a while. The seasoned ground beef is easy to make and several seasonings are added to give the meat a unique but mild taste. Loose meat tastes best when served on a fresh kaiser or poppy seed roll. This is one of my favorite recipes due to the fact it is so inexpensive, easy to prepare and it tastes great.
