Craving White Castle sliders? Make these juicy, flavorful sliders at home with simple ingredients and easy steps. Perfect for game days and casual gatherings!
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef 80-90% lean
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices American cheese cut in half
- 24 dill pickle chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onions, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon, being careful not to overwork the meat, which can result in tough sliders.
- Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and flatten each portion into thin patties, about 1/4 inch thick. The thinner they are, the more they will resemble the classic White Castle sliders.
- Heat oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place half a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
- Place each cooked patty on a slider bun. Top with two dill pickle chips for that signature crunch. You can also add extra diced onions if you prefer!
- Serve the sliders warm with your favorite sides, like fries or onion rings. These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later.
