White Castle Slider Klone

Easy and fun to make, these cute little square burgers are flattened out in a 10 x 14 inch pan between sheets of Saran wrap, shaped into 2 1/2 inch squares, frozen for easily separating the squares, then cooked in a cast iron skillet with pre-soaked, dried, chopped onions. Read more Fun to eat! I did not add the 5 holes in the burger squares as is famous for White Castle sliders because White Castle uses the holes to quickly cook their burgers without having to flip. I chose to flip and brown my burgers on both sides so omitted the holes. See less
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chuck shopping list
- 2/3 cup beef broth shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups dried chopped onions (about 3 1/3 oz.) * shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups hot water (or more if needed) shopping list
- 20 small dinner rolls (I made homemade slider buns; recipe posted) shopping list
- Cheese and condiments (optional); pickle choice is important for authenticity shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Line a 10-by-14-inch rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap. Mix beef and beef stock in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to lined baking sheet, and use a spatula to flatten. Place second sheet of plastic wrap over meat, and use rolling pin or hands to further flatten meat so it covers entire surface of pan.
- 2. Remove top layer of plastic wrap, and use spatula to score flattened beef into 2.5-inch squares. Reapply wrap, and place pan in freezer until meat is frozen solid. See Photo
- 3. Place dried onion in a small bowl, and add the hot water; let stand at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, take frozen beef from freezer, and remove from plastic wrap. Re-score it with a sharp knife, and gently break patties apart.
- 4. Heat a large skillet (cast iron works best) or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of onion-and-water mixture to skillet. When water begins to steam (which should happen almost instantly), place 5 patties on top of onions See Photo. Cook, flipping once, to desired doneness. (Cooking time will depend on whether your patties are still frozen solid or have thawed a bit.) After flipping, place a bun top on each patty.
- 5. Remove patties and buns, with a helping of onion, from skillet. Add bun bottoms, and any cheese or condiments as desired.
- 6. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Getting ready to freeze the beef patties.
