ORIGINAL MAID RITES

1 ½ lb. hamburger

1 med. onion, minced

1 tbsp. prepared mustard

½ c. water

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

¼ tsp. salt or to taste

Simmer hamburger and onion. Do not brown. Add other ingredients and simmer. Serve on buns with catsup and mustard, if desired.

Sharon's notes: When Dave Hayes has his restaurant in San Diego, he had Maid Rites on his menu. I ashed how he made them and it was basically what is above but with the addition of some bouillon or Better than Bouillon. I keep Penzey's beef stock on hand so used a tablespoon or so of it. He had to change the name as the Maid Rite police caught up with him.
