WHITE CASTLE-STYLE SLIDERS
White Castle was America's first fast food hamburger chain, and it's often credited with launching the country's burger obsession, with its small square steam-grilled sliders. They're sold in packs of four, sacks of 10 and even cases of 30. The company calls its fans "cravers" (Harold and Kumar of the 2004 cult movie weren't the only ones!), and every year new devotees are inducted into the Cravers Hall of Fame.

Steps:
- Put the onion in a medium bowl and cover with 1/2 cup water. Set aside 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree the beef with 2 teaspoons water, the onion powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor until smooth. Draw a 6-by-12-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper; flip over the paper so the pencil side is down (you should still be able to see the rectangle). Press the beef into the rectangle; cover with another piece of parchment and press until the beef is very thin and fills the rectangle completely. Uncover and score the beef into eight 3-inch-square patties. Poke 5 holes into each patty with a chopstick (one in the center and one near each corner). Slide the beef on the parchment onto a baking sheet, loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Trim the edges of the rectangle to make it even; cut patties along the scored lines. Heat an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and liquid; bring to a boil. Stir in the butter and arrange the patties over the onion. Cook until the meat is no longer pink around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Put a bun bottom upside down on each patty. To steam the bun tops, rest each across 2 bun bottoms (like a bridge). Continue cooking until the patties are completely cooked through, about 2 more minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if the skillet is too dry or if the onion starts browning.
- Remove the bun tops from the skillet. Slide a spatula under each patty, picking up the onions and bun bottoms along with the meat; flip over onto a plate. Top each with a pickle and a bun top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, beefy onion soup mix and beef broth until well combined well.
- On a piece of parchment paper or wax paper, roll the hamburger meat out to about 1/4" thickness. Just keep rolling and make the meat into a rectangle shape. If you need to eyeball it, use the slider buns to size 4 across, 3 down - that's how big your beef patty should be when it's done. Remember that White Castle patties are quite thin. Now using a knife, cut into the meat where the slider buns will go making 12 distinct patties but keep them together as one large rectangle still, just make the cuts not fully separating them. Next, using anything that can make a decent sized hole (we use the handle of a wooden spoon) make 5 holes in each patty.
- Place the meat in freezer for 25 minutes. It will not freeze but it should be a little bit easier to handle when it comes out.
- In a large baking pan, pour 1 cup of beef broth and 3 tablespoons of minced onions and stir gently spreading the onions out evenly. Place the giant meat rectangle into the liquid. The liquid steams through the burgers and cooks them perfectly. Put in the 450 degree F. oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven after 10 minutes and drain all liquid from pan. (its ok for residual liquid to be there. Turn the meat out onto another piece of parchment paper.
- On the baking pan, place the 12 BOTTOMS of the slider buns. Now gently turn the parchment paper back over placing the hamburger back on the buns. Using the cut marks you made as a guide, separate the burgers. Top with cheese slices, pickles and put the TOPS of the slider buns on.
- Return to oven for 3-5 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a large bowl mix the ground beef, 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, and 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).
- Remove from oven and add the tops of the 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.
