1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it starts to brown but is not fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the finely diced onion to the skillet and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften.
4. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed but the meat is still moist.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt and pepper if desired.
7. Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if preferred, then spoon the loose meat mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
8. Top the meat with optional toppings such as pickle slices, yellow mustard, or shredded cheese, and then place the top bun on each sandwich.
9. Serve warm and enjoy your Maid-Rite Loose Meat sandwiches!
