Get ready to sink your teeth into a meaty masterpiece with this Maid Rite, a Midwestern favorite celebrated for its simple, savory flavors. Our version takes the loose meat sandwich up a notch by swapping the standard bun for a garlicky slice of Texas Toast, adding an extra layer of crispness and buttery goodness. Think of it as a sloppy joe with a flavor boost—this 30-minute comfort meal is sure to satisfy all your savory cravings.

“Mustard, worcestershire, and a dab of brown sugar balance the umami of the beef and make this quite addicting. I can see why it’s so popular!” said recipe developer Julia Levy. “And it’s easy as heck!”

Soy sauce is more than just the condiment packets that come with your takeout. It’s an umami powerhouse that makes meat taste meatier, deepens the flavor in soups or sauces, and finishes vegetarian and vegan dishes without breaking a sweat. But once you’ve opened a bottle, where do you store it?

We learned that most shelf-stable grocery products such as ketchup and mayo benefit from being refrigerated after opening, but is this true of soy sauce as well?

Bagged greens and salad mixes make dinner prep easier. After a long day, you don’t have to chop up a whole head of lettuce or pick through a basket of arugula to make a single meal. Instead, you can reach into your fridge, grab a bag or clamshell, and pile some greens onto your plate with a protein, toppings, and a drizzle of vinaigrette. Just like that, dinner is served.

If you take a look at those same lettuce packages, you’ll probably see that they say the greens have been “triple-washed” and are “ready to use.” But you wouldn’t be alone if you’ve stopped in your tracks to wonder, “Do I need to wash these greens again?”

So, what exactly does triple-washed mean? And are these greens actually safe to use right out of the package? Read on to find out.
