Maid Rite Copycat Sliders Recipe

The Maid Rite Slider is an iconic American classic that combines juicy ground beef, savory seasonings, and soft slider buns. Originally created by Maid-Rite, a Midwest-based chain founded in 1926, these loose meat sandwiches have gained a devoted following for their delicious simplicity. Unlike traditional burgers, Maid Rite sandwiches are made with loose, crumbled beef, making each bite incredibly tender and flavorful. Today, we’re recreating this beloved recipe in slider form—a perfect choice for game days, family gatherings, or any occasion where you want something comforting and satisfying.
