If you are looking for a simple, but delicious, dinner idea, this Crockpot Maid Rite recipe is for you. Just make sure to have plenty of buns ready, because this meal practically cooks itself.
Place the 3 pounds lean ground beef, 1 small onion, 1½ teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 Tablespoons prepared yellow mustard, ¾ cup water and 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce in the slow cooker. Stir until the seasonings are distributed and the water is absorbed into the mixture.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours. If possible, stir once about half way through to break up the beef into small crumbles.
Serve by using a slotted spoon to scoop the ground beef mixture onto buns. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Or put in a freezer-safe container and freeze for several months.
Soy sauce works as a great replacement for the Worcestershire sauce if you prefer.
