Homemade White Castle Sliders

After biting into one of these babies Colby leaned over to me and whispered "There's O's in these, isn't there?" Yes, I did it. I put O's in something for once in my life. O's would be onions, which I hate. Detest. Loathe. Curse. Despise. Shun. Usually...... But I knew in my heart of hearts that I couldn't honestly make a fake White Castle wannabe without onions. And shock of shocks, I ate TWO of these guys, I loved it, and I didn't mind the O words at all. Now husband, don't get all jazzed thinking we're going to have onions in our meals now, because that is just crazy talk. While we were eating dinner, one of the kids said out loud, "Are there onions on these burgers??!" and another one answered immediately, "Onions! No way! Mom made these!"

See? I have a reputation to uphold!


Homemade White Castle Sliders
Recipe from Big Red Kitchen

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried onion flakes (of course, you know I only used about 1 tsp. Baby steps! Baby steps!)
2 pounds ground chuck- 80/20 ground beef
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
6 slices cheddar cheese
24 small party rolls (potato if possible)
24 dill pickle slices

Directions:

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 pattie. Sprinkle with seasoned salt. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Using a paper towel, pat the excess grease from the top of the pattie. 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 pattie with onion layer onto each bun bottom. Top each slider with a pickle slice then the bun lid. Serve immediately. Makes 24 Sliders.
