Almost White Castle Hamburgers

Tried this recipe for the first time and its a winner. The title is perfect- almost white castle. Its pretty much there. As a native new yorker who would buy em by the sackful, I would say these would definitely make the cut when ur craving. Kids and hubby loved them. I used 2 lbs ground chuck and spread a layer of dehydrated onion on the bottom of the pan. Toasted the buns first(just our preference), then used the damp paper towel in the microwave to get that steam feel. Wonderful recipe. Will use it again.

This tasted just like white castles except WORD OF WARNING...I used ground sirloin 90/20 and after baking mopped up extra fat with paper towels. The buns did not have the inner slightly soggy taste or texture. I also used slightly less onion dip and minced an onion and sprinkled one pan with onion on top and one pan with onion on bottom before baking. No difference in my opinion. I also spread the beef mixture on the sheet and used my rolling pin on top of the wax paper to cover the pan and then pricked with a fork. Next time, I will go against my instinct to mop up the fat and leave it to soak into the bun. It didn't matter so much because my people scarfed them down.

I cut onion and put it on the pan before I put the burger on it. I made the burger as directed.

For almost White Castle burgers that are the bomb all you need is dehydrated onion or onion flakes. Put them in water to rehydrate and make patties with only salt and pepper. Add a little water to your pan along with onion and let them cook until done. That's it. My cousin made these and swear I thought I was eating the real thing until she told me she made them. I didn't believe her so she had to make some more. That's how good they were. This recipe is not good to me.

Made this for the fam, and everyone flipped. Way super easy to make and so tasty. I didn't have onion soup mix in the house so I used 1 huge Tablespoon of dried minced onion. It was wonderful that way and my daughter told me not to change anything about the way I made them. Thanks for sharing this great recipe, it will be getting used a lot in our house come winter time. Thanks again!

Oh yeah! I'll tell you how great these were: My son's new gf (who normally acts like a 'delicate flower') was here ... she put these down like a truck driver! I added an insane amount of re-hydrated onion to the top before cooking but only because we're hardcore. :) Thanks for a great recipe!

These are the closest that I have ever found to the actual thing. I made a batch, and we ate about half of them. The others I froze and and they warmed up perfectly. Why pay ridiculous prices for frozen white castle burgers from the market, when you can make way more, for a fraction of the price. Thank you!!!

They tasted kind of like little meatloafs! 4 year old DD loves them and that's the important part. And these are so much cheaper than buying the frozen White Castle burgers at the grocery store. Next time I am going to get much leaner meat. 80/20 ground beef seemed to lose too much in juices - I was only able to get about 14 patties out of this.

I've got to try this as I dearly LOVE "White Castle" hamburgers, but non in my area, & too expencive in markets. But you forgot the most important--to me !!--condiment ! Dehydrated diced onions on top of burger, befor pickles !!! ;-}

Yummmm, very close to the real thing too. The only thing i changed about this recipe was the "jelly roll pan". I didn't have one of these, only a dark baking dish. I just turned my oven to 375 and baked for 12 min. Thank you so, so much for this recipe. Was really, really good and can't wait til my picky husband gets home to rave about this one!

Very easy to make! Pulled this out of the oven just a few mins ago. After they cooled just enough I tried a bite. So very tasty without the bread. Can't wait to finish making the burgers. DH is a very picky eater, so I'm hoping he will like these. Since he's a big Krystal fan, I'm thinking he will love them. We never lived where there was a White Castle, but we have lived where there was a Krystal. So far, the meat mixture with the onions taste so very much like the Krystals that my family grew up with. Thanks very much for this recipe. Most definitely intend to make again.

I have been wanting to try this recipe for ages and I always remembered it after I already made somthing else. Being from Minnesota, we all know and love sliders, so being able to make them at home....who needs to go out? We normally grill, anytime of the year, however as it is about -15 below zero now, we wanted a burger that we could make in the house. This one is it! Thanks so much for the recipe, I will be makeing this a ton!

I have tried the frozen white castles, but only had "real" Krystals. These were sort of close, but not quite there....I missed the rehydrated minced dried onions they sprinkle across the meat. Also, I don't remember ketchup at all....just mustard.....but those may be Krystals and not White Castle. I enjoyed these very much, but I was thinking of the mustardy onion taste that I know and love. I will make this again, but delete the ketchup. Thanks so much for sharing this....I'd never thought of doing this at home...only do burgers on the grill! Fun to relive old memories. Thanks so much!

These were so good and very easy to prepare. I did use 2 lbs. of meat but otherwise followed the directions exactly. I only baked for the 10 minutes and they still turned out perfect. Thank you so much for this quick and easy way to prepare burgers, this is perfect for those "game" nights or when your running the kids to practices.

Made these for dinner last night. Made 2 batches this morning to put in the freezer. Don't really know about White Castle since I am from the South, but they do remind me alot of Krystal. Actually better & without the heartburn afterwards. Would definitely recommend using a lean ground beef. Thanks for sharing such an easy & wonderful recipe.

I made a batch for a friend of mine and a batch for my son. I love the fact that they are quick and freeze very well.

We LOVE these burgers and make them all the time! We do as another review suggested and roll them out in a jelly roll pan & bake. I then cut a patty to fit the bun, pop some cheese on there, put it on the bun & microwave for @ 12-14 seconds in a papertowel to get that steamed burger effect. I usually only use half the sheet of burgers for our dinner that night. I then put the other half in a ziplock freezer bag and either freeze for later or refrigerate for next day leftovers. They always turn out great - thanks for the recipe!
