Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Water
• 12 pieces Slider-sized sandwich rolls
• 12 slices American cheese slices
• 12 chips Dill pickle chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the ground beef evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into a large, thin rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Season the ground beef evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Using a knife or pizza cutter, gently score the beef into 12 small square patties to mimic the White Castle shape but do not cut through completely.

Step 5

Bake the beef in the oven for 10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from the oven and drain any excess grease.

Step 6

While the beef bakes, finely dice the onion and sauté it in a skillet over medium heat with 1/4 cup water until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low to keep the onions warm.

Step 7

Separate the slider rolls and slice them in half horizontally to create tops and bottoms, but keep them paired together.

Step 8

Once the beef is cooked, cut along the scored lines to fully separate the patties.

Step 9

Place a slice of cheese on each patty while still warm to allow the cheese to melt slightly.

Step 10

Assemble the sliders by placing a patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each roll, topping it with a spoonful of sautéed onions, and finishing with a dill pickle slice.

Step 11

Cover each slider with the top half of the roll, and optionally steam the assembled sliders by wrapping them in parchment paper and microwaving for 10-15 seconds or until warm.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade White Castle hamburgers!
