Crave a little diner nostalgia at home? These slow cooker Maid-Rites cook down into juicy, seasoned crumbles that spoon perfectly onto soft buns with mustard and pickles. I pile mine high and sneak a few bites straight from the pot because I can never wait.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oat Moisture Magic 🌾
Soak the rolled oats in beef broth for 10-15 minutes before mixing with ground beef to ensure maximum moisture and tender texture in your Maid-Rites.
Flavor Layering Technique 🧅
Caramelize the onions separately before adding to the slow cooker to develop a deeper, more complex flavor profile in the meat mixture.
Crumble Control Hack 🥩
Use a potato masher or wooden spoon to create consistent, fine meat crumbles during the first hour of slow cooking, preventing large clumps.
Worcestershire Depth Trick 💦
Add Worcestershire sauce in stages throughout cooking to build a more nuanced and rich umami flavor in the meat mixture.
Pickle Pairing Perfection 🥒
Drain dill pickles on paper towels before serving to prevent soggy buns and maintain the ideal texture of your Maid-Rites.
