These White Castle Sliders are a copycat version of thefamous sandwich. I can’t promise that they’re exactly the same as the original sliders, only a better version – good, easy, and great for your next party.
WHITE CASTLE SLIDERS RECIPE
Like I said above these are the copycat version of White Castle Sliders. But let’s just say they might not be exactly the same. I can testify because I can’t remember what the original tastes like. Apparently grocery stores now sell the classic burgers.
I’m pretty sure White Castle burgers, the real deal, are made with square patties.
What I will say is that these are great – White Castle hanmburger or not. Last time I served these was after an epic long day. One of those days when we were gone the whole day and we all came home starving.
Luckily I had prepped these the night before so all I had to do was pop these in the oven for 15 minutes and we were ready to eat.
I think the original sandwich has a bed of onions on top but I brown the onion with the meat because I’ve found that most people prefer that.
This can make anywhere between 24-40 sandwiches depending on the size of the sliders you use. Hawaiian rolls work great her but definitely make tiny sliders.
I like when you individually wrap them in aluminum foil but you can also just wrap the whole pan in foil just to make sure the top bun doesn’t get too brown.
I’m not a huge fan of dill pickle burgers but I will say that you MUST add a pickle here. They make the sandwich.

PrintPinRate
Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 25 minutes mins
Total Time: 35 minutes mins
Servings: 40 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped fine
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) package onion soup mix (see Note)
- 40 slider rolls, sliced in half
- 40 slices dill pickle slices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef and onion. Drain.
Stir in cheese and soup mix and cook over low heat until cheese melts.
Spread burger mixture on bottom buns. I used a cupcake scooper to do this to make it easier. Place the bun tops on top of the meat mixture. Place rolls on a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
You can wrap the whole pan in foil or each sandwich individually.
Bake 350 for 15-20 minutes or until nice and toasty.
Remove foil and top each sandwich with a pickle.
Serve immediately with ketchup and mustard if desired on top.
Notes
Each Lipton Onion Soup Mix packet comes with 2 (.5 ounce) packets but note that the recipe only calls for one.
This recipe can yield between 24 and 40 sandwiches depending on how big you slider rolls are.

These two notes are confusing to me –
“Each Lipton Onion Soup Mix packet comes with 2 (.5 ounce) packets but note that the recipe only calls for one.” But then the ingredient list calls for “0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) package onion soup mix.” I think you mean one whole packet from a package of 2, but those two .5s and ounce measurements are hard to understand. Thanks. -

As a family of White Castle lovers, I’m thrilled to see this recipe. But, a few comments. First, WC always grills the chopped onions on the griddle along with the thin small burger patties. Second, you are right, must use pickles! Third, the buns are never toasty; in fact, they’re famous for being steamed atop the burgers on the griddle. I have prepared the frozen burgers on a foil-covered broiler pan over boiling water , to accomplish the steaming effect.

They chop their onions very fine and grill them on the grill top when cooking the burger patties. I think they also steam the buns somehow (on the grill somehow???) Maybe they just put the top on them once they are ready (on the grill) It’s been a while for me too, but I do remember the onions. They also have those little preformed patties with 5 holes in them.
I’ll have to try these out though. I do miss White Castle.

I am doing sliders for my daughters wedding in NINE days – do you think any of this could be prepared ahead of time or frozen?
Thank you

I’ve made these for dinner a few times. I healthified this a bit (whole wheat bins, lean ground beef and 2% cheddar cheese) and do 6 full burgers instead of the minis, and they are delicious! I didn’t grow up with White Castle, but this is a favorite recipe for us. Thanks!

I made these last night exactly as directed, and my husband loved it! He grew up with White Castle in Illinois, and now that we live in the South, I can achieve the same taste at home! Thank you!

I grew up in the land of White Castles….they taste the best at 3: a.m.
They are square thin burgers with holes punched in them to keep them flat as they fry fast and hot. Prepared like the Krystal Burgers.

I worked at Krystal for several years and their burgers are pretty much the same. To get an authentic taste, you need to spread ground beef thinly on wax paper, cut into square patties (keeping on paper), and then freeze. Krystal uses dehydrated onions which need to be rehydrated a few hours before making burgers. I guess you can only finely chop onions. Place patties on the grill (Krystal grills fit 24), place 1 tsp of onions on top, and cook for a couple of minutes until almost cooked through; since they are thin, they cook fast. Flip burgers so onion is on the bottom; this will prevent burgers from drying out and allow onions to cook. Split square rolls and place the bottom, inside part down, on each patty. Place the top of the roll, inside part down on top of the bottom of the bun. Lower flame, cover, and cook for a few more minutes; be careful not to burn. This will cook onions, finish cooking meat, and steam buns (lots of steam from cooking onions). To serve, slide spatula under the patty with one hand, pick up the top part of the bun with another hand, flip burger, and place the bun on top. For classic burgers, just add mustard. Can also add cheese (American is served in restaurants) and ketchup.

I grew up with White Castles and I miss them. They are small square burgers with 5 holes punched in them for more even cooking, which they do on a steam table. The onions are grilled along with the burgers. You can find White Castles in most groceries in the frozen food section. They are not as good as the real thing from a restaurant, but they will do in a pinch. Every year on my birthday I send them an email asking when they are coming to Albuquerque. The answer is probably never.
I plan on trying your sliders soon and I’ll let you know how I like them, I do enjoy your site and your posts.
