Copycat White Castle Burgers

[PrisonerOfHope]

I just got this from a friend who swears they taste just like the real thing:

Copycat White Castle Burgers

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds hamburger

1 package Lipton onion soup mix

1 tablespoon peanut butter (yes, peanut butter.. trust me)

1/2 cup milk

1 onion, finely chopped

Sara Lee Classic Dinner Rolls (or the really soft small-sized dinner rolls from the bakery)

sliced in half Cheese slices(you can use Kraft Singles or sliced Velveeta cheese.. we used Velveeta)

Instructions:

In a large bowl mix the hamburger, 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.

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). Then add the tops of your 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.

Here's a slightly different version:

Homemade White Castle Burgers


White Castle-like Sliders

1/2 cup dried onion flakes
2 pounds ground chuck- 80/20 ground beef
1/2 t. seasoned salt
6 slices cheddar cheese
24 small party rolls- I use Martin's Potato Bread Party Rolls
24 dill pickle slices

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.

Note- Store these 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 mircowave for 20 seconds then 5 second increments after that until warm through.
