Loose Meat Sandwich with Mocha Malt Milkshake

Recipe by First We Feast

A classic Iowa loose‑meat sandwich – seasoned ground beef crumbled in a cast‑iron skillet, served on a mustard‑doped bun with onions and pickles – paired with a nostalgic 1944‑style mocha malt milkshake. No ketchup, just pure burger flavor and a creamy coffee‑chocolate shake.

Critical Success Points

  • Drain excess fat from the cooked beef to avoid a greasy sandwich
  • Doping the bun with mustard, onion, and pickle before adding meat
  • Do not add ketchup – traditional loose‑meat sandwiches are served without it

Safety Warnings

  • Hot skillet can cause burns – use oven mitts when tilting to drain fat
  • Old electric mixer should be inspected for frayed cords before use
  • Handle raw ground beef with clean hands and wash surfaces thoroughly
