Ingredients: 1st: The Main Seasoning
Take an 8 oz. cup. Place in the following:
4 oz. Heinz Ketchup
3 heaping teaspoons prepared mustard
3 heaping teaspoons Silver Springs cream style horseradish
3 level teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
5 heaping teaspoons iodized salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
This should fill the cup. If not, add more ketchup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are completely mixed. You now have the basic spices.
2nd: Place 5 pounds of ground beef in a flat bottom aluminum kettle. Be sure the beef has been run through the butcher's grind 3 times so it is of fine consistency ( I didn't do that step). Also be sure the beef is 85% lean and 15% suet. This is essential as the meat will cook up fine and the delicious seasonings will be evenly distributed.
3rd: Put the 8 oz. jar of seasoning you just made into the kettle on top of the beef.
4th: Fill the same jar with warm water, rinsing it around to get all the fine seasoning out and pour it into the kettle.
5th: Next, fill the jar with finely ground yellow onions and empty into the kettle.
6th: Add a heaping teaspoon of "Accent" directly on the meat in the kettle. Accent, unlike popular belief, is not a seasoning; it is 99.9% pure monosodium glutomate. What it actually does is open the taste buds on your tongue, thus bringing out the flavor of the meat and the fine seasonings.
7th: Take a WOODEN SPOON to stir and mix all the ingredients in the kettle thoroughly.
8th: Put the kettle on your stove over a low flame and stir constantly, with the wooden spoon, for about 15 minutes or until the meat is broken apart finely. Then increase the heat about 1/4 until it come to a boil. Let boil for 25 minutes. Stir with the wooden spoon every few minutes to assure that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the kettle and to avoid lumps.
You now have the meat ready to make the FAMOUS TASTEE SANDWICH.
9th: Now take your buns and slice them not quite clear through. Leave about 1/4 of an inch hinge.
10th: Put prepared mustard in a saucedish. Using the back side of a teaspoon, pick up a small amount of mustard. Open the bun and smear a very light amount of the mustard on the middle portion of the bun.
11th: Then put one or two slices of Heinz hamburger pickle in the bun.
12th: Take a regular metal straining spoon and dip into the kettle to get the right amount of meat. Place meat in the bun and close. Shake off any meat that extends over the side of the bun. Now have a delicious FAMOUS TASTEE SANDWICH.

Directions:You can really serve them 5 ways:
1. Leave off the pickle, mustard and onion (a plain Tastee)
2. Put mustard only on the bun (a mustard only Tastee)
3. Put pickle only on the bun (a pickle only Tastee)
4. Put onion only on bun ( and onion only Tastee)
5. Put mustard, pickle and onion on the bun (an everything Tastee)
I used a 3-1/4" diameter bun and averaged 9 sandwiches to a pound of beef. These are now sold in stores as picnic buns. Do not buy cluster buns as the meat will fall out. If you use the regular 4 1/4" diameter hamburger buns, you can get only 6 or 7 sandwiches in a pound.
Put the sandwich in a dry wax bag or wrap in a dry wax paper. It is ready to serve and delight your guests. The reason for using dry wax paper instead of wax paper, is that it is grease proof and doesn't wrinkle up like wax paper.
Other hints that will assure you of a perfect finished product:
1. If there is too much grease on the meat, due to the butcher putting too much suet in the meat, ladle or spoon off the excess fat before making the sandwiches.
2. If the meat is too dry, due to the butcher grinding it too lean, add a little hot water.
By using dry wax paper in wrapping the Tastee Sandwich, you can pack them in an air tight container, such as a 5 lb. coffee can, a plastic container with a tight lid, an air tight lunch pail or a picnic basket. By packing them this way, when you open them, the dry wax paper will be crisp and the Tastee Sandwich still piping hot even as long as an hour later.

Note: I used Rhodes Texas dinner rolls for my buns and they worked really good! |
