Remember Roseanne? Remember her restaurant? The Lanford Lunch Box.
Loosemeat Sandwiches.
Friend of mine from Iowa came into town this weekend and got me thinking about that regional delicacy, so on Sunday I fired up the skillet and made it happen.
First, go get yourself a pound of ground beef. Second, pour yourself a beer. Third, chop half an onion, throw it in a pan with a little oil, and saute it until soft. Fourth, add the ground beef and once it starts browning, mash it up with a potato masher or a fork if you don't have one. Fifth, drain a little of the fat off. Sixth, add some paprika, around a tablespoon of Worcestershire and the same amount of vinegar, some salt and pepper, and then a cup or so of chicken or beef broth. Bring it to a boil and then turn down the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes or so.
When that's done, butter a bun and put it butter side down in a really hot pan until lightly brown, pile the loosemeat on the bottom of the bun, paint the bun with yellow mustard, add a Claussen dill pickle slice and a slice of onion. Cheap never tasted so good.
