Not all recipes have to be over the top to deliver on satisfaction and flavor and this classic recipe proves it. The beloved Maid-Rite sandwich has been a staple in Iowa for generations and it’s easy to see why. Unlike a traditional sloppy joe, a Maid-Rite sandwich skips the tomato-based sauce entirely, letting the savory seasoned beef really shine. And this slow cooker version couldn’t be much easier to throw together. Let’s get into how they’re made…
