Maid-Rites (Authentic Iowa Food!)

1 lb ground beef

2 cups hot water

1/2 cup chopped onion, dehydrated or fresh

2 Tbsp granulated chicken bouillon

4-6 large hamburger buns

Ketchup, mustard, sliced dill pickles, or raw onion to taste

Brown and crumble ground beef in skillet. Grind beef in food processor for finer texture and return to skillet. Dissolve the bouillon granules in 2 cups hot water. Add dehydrated or fresh chopped onion and bouillon mixture to the browned beef. Simmer beef mixture until just enough juice is left to moisten the inside of the buns (which is a significant amount).

Fill each hamburger bun with spoonfuls of beef mixture. Serve with ketchup, mustard, sliced dill pickles or raw onion to taste.
