Homemade White Castle Sliders
/
Hey guys! Here today with one of the most-loved recipes from my old site, homemade white castle sliders. Growing up, a friend of mine’s family would always have the frozen white castle sliders in their fridge. They made the perfect snack (especially late night) and I would always find a way to have some when we were hanging out. The thin meat, the soft bun, the gooey cheese. They were perfection.
You’ll notice one roll is missing. Someone whose name rhymes with Balex stole one.
I recreated them back in 2014 for my old website and they are one of the most-clicked posts ever. And rightfully so, with just four ingredients, less than five minutes to prep, and 20 minutes to bake, they are a quick go-to when you are hungry and aren’t sure what to do with that package of ground beef.
I serve these with sweet potato fries and ketchup mixed with mayonnaise because that will forever be the best burger sauce in my opinion. We loved these when we were a family of two adults, but now with kids these are something I make frequently because both kids will eat them (well, my picky eater eats the bun in ketchup, but around here that’s a win).
Homemade White Castle Sliders
Total Time: 30 minutes Hands-on Time: 5 minutes Makes: 9 sliders
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon minced onions (NOT onion powder or onion salt)
1 lb. 85% lean ground beef. (The meat is the star here, so get the good stuff)
4 slices american cheese (You can use other cheese if you prefer but American is classic)
Soft slider buns (In New York I could find “Martin’s Party Potato Buns” but can’t find them here. I used Kings Hawaiian Butter rolls this time and were okay, but not as soft and squishy as I would have liked)
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Sprinkle minced onions in the bottom a glass or oven-proof square baking dish.
Using your fingers, gently spread the ground beef on top of the onions. Use a light touch. You don’t want to pack it down.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Take a straw and poke holes in the meat.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
Remove from oven and pat off the grease with a paper towel. Be careful; its hot!
Lay American cheese over the meat.
Pop back into oven for one to two minutes until cheese has melted.
Let sit for two to three minutes until meat has cooled and grease has settled a little.
Using a roll as a guide for size, cut meat into into patties.
Nestle patties onto the buns and try to not eat all of them.
I haven’t tried it, but I bet you could double this and do it in a 13 X 9 pan if you have a big crowd to feed. Might have to increase the cook time a little. They are so delicious I couldn’t even take the time to arrange them nicely on the platter because we were like vultures circling the plate waiting to attack.
