Miles Inn's - Charlie Boy Sandwiches
1 pound ground chuck
1 Tbsp shortening
2 tsp salt
1 onion, chopped fine (a small one)
1 Tbsp prepared yellow mustard
1 Tbsp Vinegar
1 Tbsp Sugar
Salt & Pepper to taste
In skillet, preferably cast iron, melt shortening over medium heat and sprinkle salt across the bottom. Add ground check and break up into small crumbles while cooking. Add chopped onion and keep working to break up the meat. When meat is browned, drain off any fat. Add mustard, vinegar, sugar and just enough water to barely cover meat in the pan. Cook, at a simmer, until water is all cooked out, about 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Heat your hamburger buns - they were traditionally steamed at the Miles Inn - or you can use your microwave. When buns are warm, spoon on the loose meat and add yellow mustard and dill pickle slices.
