Copycat White Castle Sliders
My family loves sliders! The answer I receive to “What would you like for dinner?” is quite often “Can we have White Castles?”. I love sliders myself so sliders are dinner quite often.

We have a White Castle restaurant right up the street from us, very convenient. I really enjoy making our own Restaurant CopyCat recipes at home when I have a really good recipe. Our favorite CopyCat recipe is our CopyCat Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. They are my families most requested sandwich. That was until I made these Homemade CopyCat White Castle Sliders. These things have been so popular, especially with my boys.
Just a few ingredients are need to make your own homemade White Castle Sliders. You can make them with or without cheese. The directions I have included may seem long but I wanted to be detailed. These sliders are really quite simple to make. I use white dinner rolls to make our sliders. You could also use slider buns that are available at most grocery store. I have found the dinner rolls work best though.
INGREDIENTS
2 pkgs Dinner Rolls (16 rolls)
1 lb Ground Chuck
2 1/3 cup Beef Broth
1 cup Dried Minced Onions
8 American Cheese Slices (optional)
16 Hamburger Dills
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Line a 10×15 pan with parchment paper.
Mix ground chuck, 2/3 cup beef broth and salt and pepper together until mixture is easily spreadable.
Gently press and spread meat mixture into prepared pan until you form a thin even layer.
Using a knife, score each into 16 equal rectangles.
Use your finger to make 5 holes in each patty.
Place in freezer for at least 1 hour.
Remove frozen patties on parchment paper.
Preheat oven to 450.
Pour remaining beef broth (1 2/3 cup) into a baking sheet and spread minced onions over entire bottom of pan.
Allow to sit for 5 – 10 minutes.
Cut all dinner rolls in half to make buns.
Place frozen beef on top of onion mixture.
Place in oven for 10 minutes to allow burgers to steam cook (until they turn brown).
Remove and place cheese on each patty (if you are making cheese sliders).
Top each with a bun top and return to oven for 3 minutes.
Top each bun bottom with a dill pickle
Use a spatula to pick up each slider half and place on bun bottom.
These sliders will make for a great dinner idea for your family. They are perfect for feeding a crowd at your next party or game day.

So yummy! Melt in your mouth burgers
The end result was very good. However, the process left a lot to be desired. After an hour in the freezer, the patties were very difficult to remove from the parchment paper. The 10 minute bake wasn’t long enough for us and there was quite a bit of liquid pooling on top of the patties.
My advice is drain before adding the bun tops. Just made the fir the first time tonight, and I’m taking them to a Xmas eve party. They look and smell wonderful. And, I am a WC junkie. Full reporter in the reaction tomorrow.
Really well done! A couple modifications: my butcher gave me 1.2 lb of ground chuck so I increased the recipe a bit. Next time I would use 1/3 less beef broth, not add the top buns in the oven (became soggy), and season the beef a little more. With 1.2 lb beef, these made 20 before they went in the oven and came out making 15, so accommodate for 1/4 shrinkage. I priced these out compared to my local White Castle and theirs were $14.50 and mine were $15.00 for the same amount of sliders. Not bad! They were about twice as meaty. I also used Tillamook medium cheddar which was good and melty and slider buns. Yum!
These are super easy and really good! After reading the comments, I took the advise of others and used only half of the two separate amounts of the beef broth; could’ve done less than 2/3 cup of broth with the onions. Will for sure make again!!
Made this but my hamburger shrunk so much.
I have made these several times because they are delicious! Just like White Castle but better! I do use less than a cup of dried minced onions bc that’s just way, way too much. I just lightly cover the pan, lighter than shown and lessen the liquid. If you usectgat much liquid you have to pour some out before adding roll tops or it’s a soggy mess.
Did this verbatim and they came out really wet. Cooked a few more minutes but would not add as much fluid. Maybe my baking sheet was too short.
Made these tonight and everyone loved them. Living in Texas, White Castle is a few states away or in the frozen section of the local grocery. Wife said it was like the real thing as she lived up north.
Made these tonight and they were a *big* hit!!!
My only modifications were to use Ground Round that I caught on sale this weekend, and to only use 1-cup Broth in the baking pan (glad I did because my short-rimmed pan was almost too full when it came time to pull to put the cheese on — my ground beef must’ve had alot of moisture in it). Steak Fries, mustard, and dill pickles rounded-out the meal.
Really good recipe & saved us an hour drive to the nearest White Castle. Thanks!
