Recipe: Maid Rite Sliders with Cheese

Many of you know that I’m from Iowa – and I have a deep love for my home state. One of my favorite foods back home is the Maid Rite – and if you add cheese – it’s a Cheese-Rite. 
I also love these slider recipes using Kings Hawaiian Rolls – so I decided to combine the two and see what happens. Introducing Maid Rite Sliders!

What is the Iowa Maid Rite Recipe?

The thing I love about Maid Rites and Cheese Rites is the flavor in the beef – it’s not just plain hamburger – you incorporate beef bouillon, Worcestershire, Soy sauce, mustard and more – you let it all cook out – so the flavor just soaks into the hamburger. It’s delicious. 

Where did the Maid Rite Originate?

Well – there’s a little controversy over this. People in Newton, IA think they started it but I’m going with Wikipedia. There was a butcher in Muscatine that combined a special cut and grind of meat with a selected set of spices and created the Iowa Maid-Rite sandwich – also known as a “loose meat sandwich”. The Maid-Rite sandwich’s meat is not formed into a patty, making it similar to a sloppy joe without the sauce. 

So why a slider? I just love those Kings Hawaiian rolls and thought – this would be perfect for the upcoming summer holidays! The nice thing about these is you make a pan full of them and then slice them up and people can grab and go!

I highly recommend adding the cheese for the sliders- it holds the sandwich together. The loose meat sandwich can fall apart a little so that binder will help a lot. 

Now I realized after eating the first Maid Rite slider that something was missing – pickles!!! So you could add them in before you bake – or just have a bowl of them next to the sliders for folks to add if they want to (they will!). 

What to serve with these Maid Rite Recipes?

I’ve got three recipes for Maid Rites now! This one – the original Iowa Maid Rite Recipe and the Cheese Rite Recipe.


Here are some great side dishes to go with these! I love the Copycat Taco Johns Potato Oles – they’re zingy and tots always go great burgers! Since I live in Ohio now – I would also make up some Skyline Chili Dip – Iowa + Ohio = magical yummy! Or if you’re looking for a lighter dip – this Wedge Salad Dip is a great choice!

How to cook Maid Rite Sliders with Cheese

  12. Stir melted Glaze ingredients together
  13. Use a baster and spread the Glaze over top of the sandwiches (you might have a little left – that’s fine)

    I have to try this, I had my first Maid Rite after the Eldora Kings Royal Race at Maid Rite, Greenville, OH. My husband always went there the next day after the races and I finally was able to go, I was pretty skeptical about the fuss over a “plain” sloppy joe. I have to admit, they were delightful and so was the restaurant. You need to head up there on a day trip, it’s worth the drive and check out kitchen aid too.

      You definitely could but I would be sure all the liquid is cooked out before you put on the buns or they’ll get soggy and I would not BAKE them until the day of.

    Don’t send a recipe every day. I don’t have cable/internet. Have to use my phone for internet. I don’t have time to read every day. I love, love to cook. Sometimes make my own recipes.
    I worked at Maid Rite in Iowa.

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey. Two cups of this hearty soup is only 0/1 POINT! (If you’re not on WW – it means it’s super healthy!!!) I’ve been astounded at how much I enjoyed all of these leftovers!⁣
