COPYCAT WHITE CASTLE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Mix ground beef and 1/3 cup of the beef consommé together until mixture is easily spreadable. Gently press and spread meat mixture onto lined baking sheet until you form an 11" x 9" inch rectangle in a thin and even layer. (Or 1", all the way around, larger than your package of rolls to allow for shrinkage of beef when cooked).
• Using a pizza wheel, score, cutting through into 12 equal squares. (3 rows of 4). Make 5 holes in each square patty using a toothpick and your index finger resembling the 5-dot pattern of standard playing dice. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and pop into freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight for later. (Until firm).
• When frozen, remove and carefully snap apart frozen patties along score lines, separating each.
• Preheat oven to 450º F.
• Pour remaining beef consommé onto a baking sheet, tilt to coat entire bottom and sprinkle evenly with dried minced onions. Let sit for 5 minutes to let the onions absorb some of the broth and rehydrate. Lightly and evenly, sprinkle entire mixture with garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder.
• With a spatula, squeegee the mixture into a smaller rectangle to place the patties on, leaving about a 1" space all around the outside. Place frozen beef patties on top of seasoned onion mixture, leaving a little space in-between each one. Lightly sprinkle top evenly with a little regular salt and pepper, about an 1/8 tsp. of each. (*A little bit more doesn't hurt!)
• Pop into fully-preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes to allow burgers to steam-cook, and until browned.
• While patties are baking, cut rolls in half making buns.
• Remove patties from oven and place 2 cheese squares onto each patty overlapping slightly, (if making cheese burger sliders). Top each with 1 - 2 dill pickle slices. Top each with a bun top, cover tightly with foil, and pop back into oven for 3 minutes.
• Place bottom buns onto serving platter. Remove patties from oven. Use a solid (no drain holes) spatula to pick up each slider with the onions and some juice from the pan, and place onto bottom buns. Use the same foil and tightly cover well for 1 minute to let rest and steam. Remove foil and serve immediately. Enjoy!!
• To Reheat: Place on microwave-safe plate, cover sliders with a damp sheet of paper towel, and zap at 50% for about 1 minute and 20 seconds for 2 sliders, or until heated through.

WHITE CASTLE SLIDERS COPYCAT RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix the ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, peanut butter, and milk.
• Spread the meat mixture on a cookie sheet. Use a rolling pin to roll over the meat to smooth it out. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. The meat will shrink. Take it out of the oven and put the diced onions all around the edges, this will give the meat a great flavor, and bake for 15 more minutes.
• Remove from oven, then spoon the onions from the edges all over the top of the meat and layer with cheese slices. Bake another 7-10 minutes (until cheese is melted).
• Remove from oven and add the tops of the rolls (the bottom part of the rolls will just sit on the counter) and place back in the oven for about 5 more minutes.
• Take it out of the oven. Slice the meat with a pizza cutter and pick up the slider/top bun with a spatula and set it on the bottom bun.

ALMOST WHITE CASTLE® HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine ground chuck, bread crumbs, egg, onion soup mix, water, and black pepper in a bowl; press into a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan. Prick holes through the chuck mixture for ventilation while cooking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain excess grease.
• Cut chuck mixture into squares the size of the rolls. Place 1 chuck patty in each roll.

WHITE CASTLE-LIKE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Evenly spread the onions on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Gently press the ground beef on top of the onion flakes.
• Press evenly making one giant patty.
• Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes.
• Using a paper towel, pat the excess grease from the top of the patty.
• Top with cheddar cheese, return to oven for 2 more minutes.
• Remove from oven, let set 5 minutes then cut into 24 patties.
• Slice open and separate each party roll.
• Place bottom of rolls on a large platter.
• Using a spatula lift patty with onion layer onto each bun bottom.
• Top each slider with a pickle slice then the bun lid.
• Serve immediately.
• Makes 24 sliders.
• Note- To make ahead -- store upside-down in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will prevent the bottom bun from getting soggy from the onion layer. To reheat, place a few on a microwave safe plate and heat in the microwave for 20 seconds then 5 second increments after that until warm through.

QUEEN-OF-THE-CASTLE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Combine beef and seasonings in a small bowl, and knead mixture by hand until integrated. Divide seasoned beef evenly into four balls. Flatten and form each ball into a square patty on a plate. Using a knife, make four small slits on the top of each patty. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Spread onion out on the pan. Place the patties on top of the onion, slit-side down, and cover the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes (no flipping necessary), or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut each slice of bread into four squares, for a total of eight pieces. (If you like, slightly toast bread first.) Feel free to spread ketchup and/or mustard onto four pieces. Set aside. Once patties are cooked through, scoop each one along with the onion beneath it onto one piece of bread. Top each with a pickle chip and then another bread piece (or the other way around, if you want to be fancy!). Let them cool slightly, and then slide 'em into your mouth!

MINI MAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a griddle to 350ºF.
• Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper, and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap and roll with a rolling pin (a wine bottle will do in a pinch) until the meat covers the surface of the pan; it should be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mixture. Fold the meat in half, widthwise, using the parchment paper. Roll a couple of times just to seal the two layers, then use a pizza wheel to cut the meat into 8 even squares.
• Cook the burgers on the griddle for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Resist the urge to press them with your spatula. When cooked, stack them on one side of the griddle and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Spread the onions out on the griddle and fry in the residual beef fat. Turn them every minute or so until they start to brown. Push over to the other side, opposite the patties.
• Place the buns cut-side down on the griddle (don't worry, there will still be some fat there) and lay a sheet of foil over them for 2 minutes.
• Construct the burgers thusly: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. The fat will produce a moisture barrier, thus preventing said bun from becoming soggy. The cooked onion is next, followed by the meat. Stack pickles atop and finally the top bun, liberally mustarded. Repeat until there's nothing left to build. Consume.
