🥘 Ingredients
Dehydrated minced onion: this is found in the spice section of grocery stores.
Lean ground beef: Use a good quality beef that has a lower fat percentage.
Seasoning: I used a Mushroom Umami seasoning I buy from Trader Joes, its my very fav so I hope the don't stop making it! Other seasonings you can use are salt and pepper, seasoned salt, Mrs. Dash, whatever your favorite may be.
Slider rolls: White Castle makes their own signature bun that they serve their sliders on. Since you can't buy the real thing, I use the Martin's Potato Slider Rolls, or King's Hawaiian sweet rolls.
American cheese slices
Dill pickles: these are traditional for the burger but use any of your favorite condiments.

The Last Word
A signature White Castle Slider is served with just cheese and pickle topping and it is absolutely delicious that way. However, a few of the images I share here do depict adding ketchup and that is only because I personally like ketchup on my burgers.
