Ingredients

For the Special Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons finely minced dill pickles
  • 1 Tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 Tablespoon finely minced white onion

For the Beef:

  • 2 lbs 85/15 or 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup gluten free beef broth
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari or soy sauce if not GF
  • 1 Tablespoon gluten free worcestershire sauce Lea & Perrins is GF in the US
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • salt and pepper

For the French Fries:

  • 1-1/2 lbs gluten free french fries any cut, Ore-Ida recommended
  • homemade seasoned salt optional
  • 6 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tomato seeded and chopped
  • finely minced white onion

Instructions

For the Special Sauce:

  • Add the ingredients to a small bowl then stir to combine. Can be made up to 5 days ahead of time - store in the refrigerator.

For the Beef:

  • Add the ingredients to a 6-quart crock pot then cook on high for 4 hours, breaking the meat up/stirring three times.

For the French Fries:

  • Bake french fries on a large baking sheet according to package directions then season with homemade seasoned salt while still warm and toss to coat. Drain enough meat to cover french fries then spoon on top. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top then broil until cheese has melted, 1-2 minutes. Top french fries with chopped tomato, finely minced white onion, and special sauce, then serve with extra special sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Freeze leftover meat for another use OR make Iowa's famous "Maid Rites" sandwiches by spooning the drained meat onto buns then topping with ketchup and dill pickle slices.
