The Original "Tastee" From Tastee Inn & Out
From anj 14 years ago
- 35 minutes to make
- Serves 14-20
In my hometown, Sioux City, IA, there is a drive-in restaurant called "Tastee Inn and Out". They make the best loose meat sandwiches I've ever eaten. (Loose meats appears to be a Midwest thing. No one I've met in the south knows what one is. Read more ) Once in a while Dad would bring home a bag of Tastees when I was a kid (Over 45 years ago) and they were SUCH a treat. Somehow my stepmother, Diana, got a this recipe and they DO taste like the original sandwiches from Tastee Inn & Out. If I lived in Sioux City, I'd go to Tastee before I'd make them at home. Diana made a batch when we were up in South Dakota for vacation one time. She used the slow cooker and I'll add her instructions for that, or you can just use a pot on the stove like the restaurant does.

Ingredients
- 5 lbs. lean ground beef shopping list
- 3 medium onions, chopped fine shopping list
- 1 T. salt shopping list
- 1 T. creamed horseradish shopping list
- 1 T. dry mustard shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper shopping list
- 1/2 c. ketchup' shopping list
- 1 c. water shopping list
- 1 heaping T. Accent (monosodium glutamate) shopping list
How to make it
- Put meat and onions in a kettle.
- Put salt, creamed horseradish, dry mustard, black pepper and ketchup in a 16 oz. measuring cup. Mix and pour directly over meat. Stir with a wooden spoon.
- Add 1 c. water to the same cup and stir around to get all the ingredients off the sides. Pour over meat.
- Stir in Accent.
- Stir side of pan a lot and stir the raw meat often until meat begins to boil. (This is to assure that the chunks are small - you don't want large chunks.)
- Cover kettle and boil 25 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns with a slice of cheese.
- NOTES: 1) The traditional Tastee sandwich is always served on soft, plain hamburger buns. 2) Diana boiled the meat mixture 15 minutes then would put it in a slow cooker to serve. The loose meat will last about 4-5 hours in a slow-cooker.
- Goodness, I've made myself homesick and I haven't felt that way since about 1989! I think it was seeing the picture of the Tastee Inn and Out on the Road Food site. *sigh*
