White Castle Sliders (Copycat Recipe)

White Castle Sliders you can make at home! If you’ve always wanted to replicate these signature burgers from the White Castle restaurant, this recipe is the real deal.

This White Castle Sliders copycat recipe makes flavorful, juicy, perfect little cheeseburgers. I remember eating these sliders on a family trip to the East coast and could not get over how yummy they were. I found myself craving them all the time. Since we don’t have any White Castle restaurants out West, I had to figure out how to make my own menu favorite. After trying several recipes, I finally found this one on the Cooking With Carrie Blog. A couple of little tweaks later, they turned out perfectly, exactly as I remembered. Enjoy this delicious restaurant favorite in the comfort of your own home.

Ingredients in White Castle Sliders

These aren’t your ordinary beef patties with cheese. You’ll love the unique flavor of this delicious ground beef mixture and toppings. Here’s what you need:

• 2 pounds lean ground beef – I like to use lean hamburger but you want a little fat in the meat so it’ll hold together.
• Lipton onion soup mix – 1 packet or two ounces
• Peanut butter – yes, peanut butter. Just a tablespoon, and trust me on this! There’s really no substitutions for this ingredients. Just try it!
• Milk – about half a cup
• 1 medium yellow onion – finely chopped
• 12 Slider Rolls – I found mine in the bakery section of the grocery store. You can also use Hawaiian rolls in place of normal dinner rolls, or mini bread rolls.
• Cheese slices –  About 10-12 Kraft American cheese slices, or any type of cheese you like. American cheese will give you that signature flavor, but you can use cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, or Colby jack.

Step by Step Instructions

These aren’t your typical cooked patties. It’s actually easy to make a lot of these sliders all at once, following these simple steps:

1. First, mix the ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, peanut butter, and milk in a large bowl.
2. Next, spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll over the meat to smooth it out over the bottom of the baking sheet.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
4. Then, take the pan out of the oven and sprinkle the diced onions all around the edges and bake for 15 more minutes.
5. 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). 
6. Finally, slice the cooked patties with a pizza cutter and pick up the slider/top but with a spatula and set the patty on the bottom bun.
7. Add any condiments, pickles, etc. that you like. And enjoy!

Toppings for Sliders

Once you have your sliders baked and cut, you can top your cheese slider with all kinds of toppings:

• Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise or other condiments.
• Dill pickle slices – you’ll probably want about 20-24 dill pickle chips for these, especially if you’re a fan of dill pickle.
• Lime pickles
• Garlic powder
• Pinch of salt

Ingredients

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 pounds ground beef
• ▢ 2 oz Lipton onion soup mix 1 packet
• ▢ 1 tablespoon peanut butter (Yes, peanut butter. Trust me.)
• ▢ 1/2 cup milk
• ▢ 1 onion finely chopped
• ▢ 12 Slider Rolls I found mine in the bakery section of the grocery store. You may be able to fit more on depending on the size of the buns.
• ▢ 12 cheese slices Kraft or Velveeta cheese slices work great too

Instructions

• 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.
