THEY COULD BE SLIDERS (IF EATEN WITH EYES CLOSED) - WHITE CASTLE
A slightly "mock" rendition of White Castles sliders, but we think only better. Great "kid" sized burgers or even better for "adult" sized snacks! NOTE: since posting this recipe I have found out that Pepperidge Farm no longer makes the small rolls in the pans so therefore use your own disgression on which rolls are available to you but I do suggest that you use a small size like a dinner roll in order to get the full "White Castle" affect!

WHITE CASTLE-STYLE SLIDERS
White Castle was America's first fast food hamburger chain, and it's often credited with launching the country's burger obsession, with its small square steam-grilled sliders. They're sold in packs of four, sacks of 10 and even cases of 30. The company calls its fans "cravers" (Harold and Kumar of the 2004 cult movie weren't the only ones!), and every year new devotees are inducted into the Cravers Hall of Fame.

Steps:
- Put the onion in a medium bowl and cover with 1/2 cup water. Set aside 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree the beef with 2 teaspoons water, the onion powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor until smooth. Draw a 6-by-12-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper; flip over the paper so the pencil side is down (you should still be able to see the rectangle). Press the beef into the rectangle; cover with another piece of parchment and press until the beef is very thin and fills the rectangle completely. Uncover and score the beef into eight 3-inch-square patties. Poke 5 holes into each patty with a chopstick (one in the center and one near each corner). Slide the beef on the parchment onto a baking sheet, loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Trim the edges of the rectangle to make it even; cut patties along the scored lines. Heat an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and liquid; bring to a boil. Stir in the butter and arrange the patties over the onion. Cook until the meat is no longer pink around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Put a bun bottom upside down on each patty. To steam the bun tops, rest each across 2 bun bottoms (like a bridge). Continue cooking until the patties are completely cooked through, about 2 more minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if the skillet is too dry or if the onion starts browning.
- Remove the bun tops from the skillet. Slide a spatula under each patty, picking up the onions and bun bottoms along with the meat; flip over onto a plate. Top each with a pickle and a bun top.

Steps:
- Evenly spread the onions on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Gently press the ground beef on top of the onion flakes.
- Press evenly making one giant patty.
- Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes.
- Using a paper towel, pat the excess grease from the top of the patty.
- Top with cheddar cheese, return to oven for 2 more minutes.
- Remove from oven, let set 5 minutes then cut into 24 patties.
- Slice open and separate each party roll.
- Place bottom of rolls on a large platter.
- Using a spatula lift patty with onion layer onto each bun bottom.
- Top each slider with a pickle slice then the bun lid.
- Serve immediately.
- Makes 24 sliders.
- Note- To make ahead -- store upside-down in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will prevent the bottom bun from getting soggy from the onion layer. To reheat, place a few on a microwave safe plate and heat in the microwave for 20 seconds then 5 second increments after that until warm through.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Meat: Opt for 80/20 ground beef for a juicy and flavorful patty. Alternatively, use a blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin for a leaner option.
- Season Wisely: Create a flavorful patty by seasoning the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Other spices like paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper can be added for an extra kick.
- Form Perfect Patties: Use a kitchen scale to ensure uniform patty size and thickness. This promotes even cooking and prevents over or undercooked patties.
- Handle with Care: Be gentle when forming the patties to avoid compacting the meat, which can result in tough burgers.
- Cook to Perfection: Cook the patties over medium-high heat to achieve a nice sear and lock in the juices. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooking can dry out the patties, making them tough and less flavorful.
- Accessorize Generously: Add your favorite toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments to create a fully loaded and satisfying burger.
