White Castle Sliders you can make at home! If you’ve always wanted to replicate these popular burgers from the White Castle restaurant, this recipe is the real deal.
White Castle Sliders
This White Castle Sliders copycat recipe makes flavorful, juicy, perfect little burger bites! I remember eating them on a family trip to the East coast and could not get over how yummy they were! Since we don’t have any White Castle restaurants out West, I had to figure out how to make my own! After trying several recipes, I finally found this one on the Cooking With Carrie Blog and I made a few changes. They turned out perfect, exactly as I remembered. Enjoy this delicious restaurant favorite in the comfort of your own home.
Tips for the Perfect White Castle Sliders
- Don’t be skeptical about the peanut butter that the recipe calls for. I know it sounds weird, but it adds a terrific texture that is difficult to substitute. It you have a nut allergy or just can’t do the peanut butter, feel free to leave it out.
- Some readers have asked if you can leave out the onions. Of course you can, but I suggest giving them a try. The onions add such a wonderful flavor and texture that just can’t be duplicated.
- These little sliders make the best leftovers! Pop them in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds and they taste just as fresh as the night before!
- You can even freeze extra sliders for up to a month in freezer safe bags. Just make sure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator before microwaving, so they cook evenly.

How to Make The BEST White Castle Sliders
Ingredients
- 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.

I’m almost embarrassed to say – but I bought a box of these in the frozen aisle years ago upon recommendation of my brother in law. I thought they were “okay” even though he raved about them. But I have to say this homemade version is Da Bomb!! Wow the delicious flavors really come through. Your recipes never disappoint and this is possibly my new favorite!

I’ve never tried the real deal, but these sliders are so yummy! I was skeptical of the peanut butter, but it all turns out so delicious. You won’t regret it!
Debbie says
Yummy! Made these tonight for dinner and wow’d my hubby!

Pretty darn close to the real deal! I have tried several copy cat recipes and most aren’t even really close to the real thing. We live in Iowa so the closest thing we can regularly get are the frozen ones. These are a great alternative and better than the frozen ones for sure. They’ll definitely keep the cravings at bay until we get back to a city that has a White Castle!

Very good but still something missing compared real White Castles.
Jimbo says
These are great very easy to make I’m not much on leftovers but even tasted fine from the microwave the next day surprising I followed the recipe to the letter an added A little seasoning from my local butcher shop and Small sandwich buns from the deli and local grocery I believe mine turned out way better than any white castle hamburger
Dawn says
Made these tonight, they were ok but not the same taste as a White Castle burger. I didn’t like the onion soup in the meat, gave it an off taste or maybe that was the peanut butter either way these r not just like White Castle. Will try again with our soup mix and peanut butter and add my own seasoning, plus I’ll cook on a flat top and see what happens.
Robin says
I am using onion powder and better than bullion soup base instead of onion soup mix. Try that next time.
Sophia Maria says
Just making these today. One packet of onion soup mix is 1 ounce. Am I correct that I put in one packet???
