### Gourmet Loose Meat Sandwiches (Maid-Rite Inspired)

**Ingredients:**
- 2 pounds high-quality 80/20 ground beef
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or 2 teaspoons dried mustard)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth (or chicken broth or water)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 8 hamburger buns, steamed or lightly toasted
- Dill pickle slices or chips, for serving
- Optional: American, cheddar, or Swiss cheese slices

**Instructions:**
1. **Cook the Beef**:
   - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and begin breaking it into small, crumbled pieces using a spatula or spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
   
2. **Add Onions**:
   - When the beef is halfway cooked, add the finely chopped onions to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked (no longer pink) and the onions are softened, about 10-12 minutes.

3. **Drain Excess Fat**:
   - If there is excess fat in the skillet, drain it off carefully.

4. **Add Flavorings**:
   - Add the yellow mustard, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth (or chicken broth or water) to the skillet. If using garlic powder, add it now. Stir to combine, ensuring the mixture is well-moistened but not soupy.

5. **Final Seasoning**:
   - Season the mixture with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

6. **Rest the Meat**:
   - Let the meat mixture rest for 5 minutes before serving.

7. **Prepare Buns**:
   - Steam or lightly toast the hamburger buns according to your preference.

8. **Assemble Sandwiches**:
   - If using cheese, place a slice on the bottom half of each bun and top with the hot loose meat mixture. 

9. **Serve**:
   - Serve the sandwiches with dill pickle slices or chips on the side.

**Yield:** 8 servings

### Tips:
- **Steaming Buns**: For a softer texture, steam the buns. To do this, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
- **Toasting Buns**: For a slightly crisp texture, lightly butter the buns and toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

By following these steps, you can easily create a delicious version of the Maid-Rite inspired loose meat sandwiches.
