Roseanne Barr’s Loose Meat Sandwiches

October 1988 brought us Roseanne and the Connor family, an American working-class family struggling to get by on a limited household income.

Roseanne Barr’s Loose Meat Sandwiches

1 pound ground beef

1/4 teaspoon salt

dash ground black pepper

4 plain hamburger buns

yellow mustard

minced onion

dill pickle slices

• Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-low heat.As the meat cooks use a wooden spoon (oe a potato masher) to chop the meat into fine, rice - size pieces. Drain fat.

• Add salt and pepper and continue to stir over low heat for 5 more minutes.

• Build each sandwich by pressing the hot ground beef into a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Dump the meat onto the bottom of a plain hamburger bun. Add mustard on the top bun, along with pickles and minced onion if desired. Top off the sandwich, then heat it in your microwave oven for 10 to 15 seconds to warm the buns. Serve with a spoon as they do in the restaurants.
