These maid-rite burgers are a riff on the loose meat sandwiches served in a popular Midwestern chain. The beef is savory and tender and this recipe is quick and easy for a weeknight.
Place ground beef and seasonings into a large skillet and brown meat, crumbling as it cooks, over medium heat until cooked through. Do not drain fat.
Pour beef broth into pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
Spoon beef onto buns and top with pickles and mustard.
To make the buns:
While the beef is cooking, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir to combine and return to microwave until cheese has melted, about 30 more seconds.
Stir to combine the cheeses and then add the egg, almond flour, and baking powder to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Lightly oil your hands and knead the dough until smooth and pliable.
Separate dough into 4 evenly sized balls and shape into buns.
Place dough on prepared baking sheet and brush with the second beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on top and the sides seem fully set (no melty cheese).
Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing in half.
Fill with the beef mixture and serve.
