Mom’s MAID-RITE… made right!
- High-quality 80/20 hamburger meat
- Hamburger Buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Jodi’s addition: garlic and onion powder to taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese, optional
- Potato Chips, optional
Maid-Rite Special Sauce
- 1 large onion, chopped
- Finely shredded cabbage
- Dill pickles, chopped
- Mustard and mayonnaise
Heat oven for lightly toasting the hamburger buns. Brown loose meat and season with salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder to taste. Drain off nearly all fat. Add a small amount of water to keep the meat “juicy.” Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl. The amount of mustard and/or mayo in the sauce is a matter of preference.
Each person prepares his/her own MAID-RITE. Spoon loose meat with a slotted spoon onto warmed hamburger buns. Top with special sauce and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Serve with potato chips. Enjoy!
Comment: This is the original MAID-RITE recipe according to my mom. She has been making these hamburgers since 1939 and also had the honor of eating her first ones in Muscatine, Iowa *home of the MAID-RITE sandwiches*. CLICK here to read about the story behind Maid Rite Burgers
Comment: You can trust that this non-steamed recipe tastes eerily like the first constructed MAID-RITES!
Because I believe FUNNY is better than sackcloth and ashes . . .

First-place Historical Fiction, Adventure-Drama, winner in the 2021 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards.
The Accidental Road
Kat’s almost-full-time job has become dodging the embarrassing tsunami of male attention aimed at her mother Ellie, a social butterfly who bears an uncanny resemblance to film star Marilyn Monroe. To add to Kat’s woes, her stepfather, Roy, has lately grown irrationally jealous of his beautiful wife. Kat buries her worries in movies and classical novels, but when Roy’s rants turn violent, she and Ellie plan an escape via Route 66 to the freedom of a new life in Las Vegas. Instead, they wind up in a small Arizona town crawling with the mafia. Trouble escalates when Ellie attracts the eye of a mafia Caporegime who, along with Roy, is determined to have her at any cost.

Author Jodi Lea Stewart ~ Laughing Makes it All Worthwhile! ~
Jodi Lea Stewart is a fiction author who believes in and writes about the triumph of the human spirit through overcoming adversity via grit, humor, and stubborn tenacity. Her writing reflects her life beginning in Texas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, later moving as a youngster to an Arizona cattle ranch next door to the Navajo Nation, and, as a young adult, resuming in her native Texas. Growing up, she climbed petroglyph-etched boulders, bounced two feet in the air in the backend of pickups wrestling through washed-out terracotta roads, and rode horseback on the winds of her imagination through the arroyos and mountains of the Arizona high country. Her lifetime friendship with all nationalities, cowpunchers, and the southern gentry allows Jodi to write comfortably about anything in the Southwest, the South, and far BEYOND.

Watch the Book Trailer for THE GOLD ROSE HERE.
I write historical fiction centered around the early to mid-twentieth century. My latest novel, THE GOLD ROSE, involves the Japanese invasion of China and the ensuing civil war that ushered in modern-day communism. No matter what the circumstances, eras, conflicts, or main plots entail… my goal is always to create characters everyone relates to. I believe that’s the kind of connective reading in which the reader and writer actually share a point in time. 😊 Happy reading, y’all!
