Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup water
- 1 medium white onion diced into small bits
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 12 slider rolls
- 6 slices American cheese
- 24 dill pickle chips
Instructions
- Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the water and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Flatten the beef between 2 sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle evenly ¼” thick.
- Cut the beef into 12 patties and use a wooden spoon handle (or metal straw) perforate vent holes into each patty.
- On a baking sheet, add the onions and juices, spreading them out across the entire sheet.
- Place the patties on top of the onion and move baking sheet into the oven, covering with a larger baking sheet that’s turned upside down. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the burgers steam cook in the oven, cut the rolls in half to make buns.
- After baking, remove burgers from oven and carefully remove top baking sheet.
- Assemble the sliders with a bottom bun, then a burger patty, slices of cheese cut to fit the patties, and 2 pickles on top. Top with other half of bun.
Notes
- Be sure to cut uniform patties so they cook evenly.
- Don’t skip the vent holes! This step is key to steaming the beef just like White Castle.
- For softer buns, place assembled sliders back into the oven for 2–3 minutes to warm through.
