"Simply Delicious! Good things come in small packages. These amazing little burgers are even cooked on a bed of onions, just like the White Castle originals. Woohoo!! Found on the Hungry Girl's site.

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 4 ounces raw extra lean ground beef
• 2 slices light bread (40 - 45 calories each with at least 2g fiber per slice)
• 1⁄3 cup chopped onion
• 4 hamburger dill pickle slices
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper

• Optional condiments

• ketchup and mustard

directions

1. Combine beef and seasonings in a small bowl, and knead mixture by hand until integrated.
2. Divide seasoned beef evenly into four balls. Flatten and form each ball into a square patty on a plate. Using a knife, make four small slits on the top of each patty. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
3. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove.
4. Spread onion out on the pan. Place the patties on top of the onion, slit-side down, and cover the pan.
5. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes (no flipping necessary), or until cooked through.
6. Meanwhile, cut each slice of bread into four squares, for a total of eight pieces. (If you like, slightly toast bread first.) Feel free to spread ketchup and/or mustard onto four pieces. Set aside.
7. Once patties are cooked through, scoop each one along with the onion beneath it onto one piece of bread.
8. Top each with a pickle chip and then another bread piece (or the other way around, if you want to be fancy!).
9. Let cool slightly, and then slide 'em into your mouth!

I grew up with Krystal and can only get them now when I go back east. This cooking method really satisfied my taste buds for the little Krystal burgers of my childhood. I did serve them on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls that were cut in half and allowed to steam for a minute on top of the meat. I will be making these again.

i was watching my 2 year old niece and wanted something to fit her small hands...this fit the bill so perfectly! i did leave the onions out of her little burgers but i made little piles of onion and topped with the mini patty for the grown ups..the onions sort of carmelized and were very good! thanks for the recipe!
