Provided by Stephanie Manley

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup water (for beef)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup onion (diced)
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 cup water (for onions)
12 dinner rolls ((Parker house shape, 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" size))
dill hamburger slices

Steps:

  • In a food processor place ground beef, salt, and water. Process for a few seconds so water and salt are blended through ground beef and meat should look a little pasty.
  • Place plastic wrap on the bottom of an 11 x 13-inch jelly roll pan. Place blended hamburger in the middle and cover it with another piece of plastic wrap. Roll the hamburger out to 1/4-inch thick.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and cut the meat into 3-inch squares. Leave the ground beef pieces on the tray. You should get between 12 and 14 squares.
  • Perforate each piece five times with the end of a plastic straw, this will give the meat little steam holes. Cover the hamburger with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer until the meat is partially frozen but not solid.
  • Place onions, beef bouillon, and 1/2 cup water in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Saute and stir onions until they are clear, more water may be added as needed. Turn the heat off until ready to cook hamburger patties.
  • When beef patties are ready to prepare, turn the heat to medium-low heat and add enough water to onions just so the bottom of the frying pan is covered. Place patties in pan and cover with lid. Frying time is just a few moments.
  • Turn the patties and cook until done but not dry. The patties should be juicy. When hamburgers are finished cooking, place on top of a roll, add pickles, cover hamburgers so they will steam slightly or pop them in the microwave covered just for a few seconds until ready to serve.

WHITE CASTLE CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS



White Castle Cheeseburger Sliders image

They taste exactly like the originals. Incredibly flavorful, covered in cheese and absolutely delicious.

Provided by Daily Dish Recipes

Categories     Sandwiches and Sliders

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 lbs. ground beef
[1 packet of beefy onion soup mix]
1/4 cup beef broth
1 cup of beef broth for steaming
12 slider buns
8-10 thinly sliced american cheese
3 tablespoons dry minced onions
hamburger dill pickle chips

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.

WHITE CASTLE-STYLE SLIDERS



White Castle-Style Sliders image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion, finely chopped
10 ounces ground beef chuck (80% lean)
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces
8 slider buns, split
8 thin dill pickle chips

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.

I'm not real fond of White Castle myself but I gobbled these up. Note: To freeze: Assemble hamburgers less the condiments. Flash freeze, wrap in plastic wrap, put in a ziplock bag and label.
