Please share

What should you serve with Maid Rites? Whether you like coleslaw, macaroni salad, veggies or French fries – I’ve some of the best Maid Rite or Sloppy Joe side dishes to get a tasty dinner on the table for your family in no time.

Homemade Maid Rites are such a perfect quick and easy meal. They are simple, but the whole family loves them.

I especially like them because they only take a few minutes to put together. So, they are perfect for evenings when the schedule is jam-packed.

My favorite homemade Maid Rites recipe is a quick and easy skillet recipe. However, I also have an Instant Pot Maid Rites recipe for the people who thought the meat really should be steamed.

Either recipe is delicious. It’s just a matter of preference. This is one of those rare cases where the Instant Pot recipe actually takes a little bit longer to make.

Anyway, the hardest part about making maidrites is deciding what to serve with them. The dinner is so easy, the side dishes should be easy or make ahead as well.

Here are some great ideas to serve with your sandwiches. These sides also go great with sloppy joes, so you can also use them if you like your sandwiches saucy.
