This slider recipe makes tasty mini burgers that remind me of my favorite fast-food restaurant! They are a perfect appetizer to bring to a party.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 (1.25 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 24 dinner rolls, split
- ½ cup sliced pickles (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray. Grease a sheet of aluminum foil; set aside.
Step 2
Mix together ground beef and onion soup mix in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until beef is crumbly and evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Remove the skillet from heat; stir in Cheddar cheese and mayonnaise.
Step 3
Place roll bottoms on the prepared baking sheet. Spread beef mixture onto each bottom. Cover with tops. Cover sandwiches with the prepared sheet of aluminum foil.

Hi all… I submitted this recipe – just to clarify, I use two packages of the King Hawaiian Sweet dinner rolls (in the orange bag, remove the cardboard tray it comes in). You can just slice the tops off all at once and spread the beef mixture on the “bottoms”. Make sure to spray the foil with Pam so they don’t stick. I also don’t put them on a cookie sheet, just wrap the whole thing in foil and pop in the oven, this prevents the bottoms from burning against the hot cookie sheet and keeps the buns soft. Make sure to drain the grease and let the beef mixture cool a bit before adding mayo and cheese so it doesn’t separate and get too oily. These are always the hit of the party! Tastes just like White Castles!
-
I made this recipe today for 47 kids ranging in age from 6-17. The kids LOVED it! I tripled the recipe, although I cooked it as written for each batch. I thought the meat mixture would be more consistant doing it that way…and it would take the guess work out of how much meat goes on a package of rolls…I rated it 4 stars because of changes I made. I usually ALWAYS make the recipe exactly as stated the first time around, but couldn’t on this one. The recipe doesn’t call for draining the ground beef after it is cooked, which I felt needed to be done. I think it would be too greasy otherwise. I followed the recipe other than draining the grease and adding a pickle to the burger before I baked it. I also followed the review from the Dena who posted the recipe, i.e. not using a baking pan and waiting for the meat to cool before adding the mayo/cheese also, I used Hawaiian King rolls as suggested. Thank you SO much for a fabulous recipe! I will definitely make it again and again!
-
We loved these! So, so tasty and very easy. Used the King’s Hawaiian rolls from the deli section of the grocery. We served these at a party. Since I wanted as little prep as possible the day of the party, I browned the beef w/ soup mix the day before and put in a tupperware. The next day, I threw the meat mix in the microwave for a couple of minutes while I got the cheese and mayo (among other party fixings) ready to go. Mixed everything up, put it on the rolls and popped in the oven. My husband raved–said it was way better than Krystal burgers! I’d definitely make these again, especially for a football party or the like.
-
This turned out to be defently not something I will try to make again.
-
This is an awsome recipe. Thank you for a new family fav. Thanks again
-
These were yummy! Loved by all. ‘Nuf said!
-
My husband made these for us last night and used 1lb ground beef and 1/2 packet of french onion mix and velveeta instead of shredded cheese. They turned out fantastic!!! We live about 2 miles from White Castles so I was skeptical, its close but not quite the same.
-
I tried this recipe with two packages of onion soup mix as suggested by DenaInChicago. Both my husband and I thought it was way too salty. I could only eat one because of how salty it was. I liked the extra onion flavor, but not the extra salt. I’m going to try it again with only 1 package of soup mix and some diced onions for the extra onion flavor. I think I’ll make this a regular for us, just never again with 2 packages of soup mix.
-
These little burgers are addictive!! So yummy 🙂 I made the recipe as directed and it turned out great-I did find it easier to cut the rolls when they were partially frozen. Still heated through great. Will recommend and make again!
-
I had a hard time with them staying together. I followed the recipe to the letter and they just fell apart whenever you picked them up. Good taste but, very messy
-
Easy, delicious, family friendly, and perfect just the way it is written. I had absolutely no trouble with these and followed the recipe to a “tee”. Kids helped me and we all enjoyed the fruits of our labor!! A keeper for sure. Thanks for sharing.
-
This are very tasty! My 7 year old son just gave me a double thumbs up! I followed the recipe to the ‘T’, but only made a half recipe. Next time I will make a full recipe but only use one package of onion soup. I do like the salty taste of the meat mixture and the sweet flavor from the buns.
-
Excellent recipe! I did not put them on a pan, rather just wrapped in the foil and straight in the oven. I was a little skeptical at first thinking the buns would get soggy and they did not. I used the Beefy Onion soup mix and it gave excellent flavor. I didn’t use mayo or pickles, as most of my family doesn’t like them. I halved the recipe and the one cup cheese was not enough so I would definitely use more next time. I used the buttery top King’s Hawaiian rolls and they were a HUGE hit! Even my 5 year old ate 3 of them and he usually is not a fan of hamburgers or anything like it! Thanks for the recipe!
-
This turned out very well. Only thing I did differently was cook in the oven for 15 minutes instead of 30 – seems like they would have burned if I left them in any longer.
-
Awesome time and kid-friendly recipe!! Made recipe as is with the exception of using Beefy Onion Soup Mix instead of the original. My daughter is very picky and LOVED this. Thank you!!
-
Giving it 5 stars because I don’t believe in deducting points when I change a recipe. I made these today for my daughter’s preschool graduation picnic. Made a double batch and sub’d ground turkey and ground chicken and halved the amount of mayo. Also used colby/jack cheese instead of cheddar. Pretty good reviews from the crowd.
-
So good my whole family gobbled them up and had only a few leftover!! Next time I’ll have to DOUBLE the recipe for sure!!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
-
i made 1/2 a recipe. added extra cheese. i wasnt sure about the mayo (not a fan) , but im glad i added it. next time i will use a real onion in place of the soup mix.
-
These were delicious! The kids said I should make them all the time! DH said they taste like White Castles!.. I chopped up a small onion real fine and simmered it into my meat,skipped the soup mix. Only 4 stars because with all the mayo and cheese they were quite rich and I could only eat two; next time I may cut it back to half the cheese and mayo!.. I actually used one package of rolls(12) with half the filling for dinner and still had the other package of rolls and half the filling for the next day.
-
Easy and yummy! I made these for my boys, and we all really enjoyed them. I cut back just a tad on the mayo because they’re not big fans, but otherwise followed the recipe. I did use homemade onion soup mix, though, and halved the recipe. Next time, I would cut back even more on the mayo and cheese. We’ll definitely make these again.
-
My family has been making these for years! They are not quite white castle but they remind us of them!! We do not use the hawaiian rolls- we use plain mini hamberger rolls or dinner rolls that are sold connected to each other. It is easier to spread the filling that way. Two package of soup mix would be WAY too much!! Pickles are an absolute necessity! I recommend extra pickles!! I have never had trouble with them sticking- but we wrap in foil- try the easy release foil if you are having trouble. Serve with ketchup!
-
Everyone in my family LOVED this recipe and it was perfect for using up some packages of dinner roll dough I had in the freezer. We went thru a double batch!!!
-
So yummy! I added some finely chopped onion while cooking the meat, used 93/7 ground turkey, and topped the burgers with sliced dill pickles before baking. Other than that, I followed the recipe. These are so close to White Castle burgers and even better, you can make tweaks to make them healthier, like using wheat buns. If you’re worried about how much onion soup mix you’re using, just add less at first and more to taste after the meat has cooked. Adding a little water can help the meat soak it up. I will definitely be making these again.
-
My favorite sliders, even better than the restaurant!
-
Love it! An easy and unique way to prepare sliders. I used 1 pound of beef to make 12 burgers instead of 24, and added a chopped onion to the skillet when cooking the meat. Also added the pickle to the burgers prior to baking. Came out great and I’ll definitely be making these again and trying some different mixes.
-
These taste awesome and are super easy. My husband LOVED them. Can’t wait to serve as a snack at our next BBQ. Thanks for the great recipe. Didn’t change a thing.
-
My kids said they were the best thing I ever made…so that’s what I am basing my rating on. They were tasty, easy to make and assemble. I made them exactly as written.
-
Loved these! I thought with such simple ingredients it definitely would be something we wouldn’t have time and time again…how wrong I was. So simple and no overpowering flavors just very tasty. Yum, thanks.
-
mmmm just like white castle…better cooked w/pickle inside.
-
This recipe was very easy to make. My hubby is a burger and fries kinda guy, so when I decided to “change” his burger I was a little scared. But he loved them. He said “you don’t even need ketchup for them” We both agreed this recipe is a keeper. The only thing I changed was the onion soup mix (I don’t like it)I just used onion powder, it seemed to be fine.
-
These were great, even the picky eaters loved them. I did not change a thing; used Dena’s more detailed instructions added later. I do think next time I will bake with the pickles, as that sounds even better. Thank you Dena!
-
Thought these were really yummy, so did the rest of the family as we watched football this weekend. Mine ended up being more like little sloppy joes than burgers though.
-
I cooked diced onion with the ground beef and added pickles before baking. Very easy and tasty.
-
My football guys LOVE these burgers. They want them again. I used turkey and only left them in the oven for 20 minutes. I thought there was too much onion taste but I was vetoed by the guys on this opinion.
-
the kids love these and they’re so easy to make! I add a bit of ketsup to the mayo.
-
Wonderful recipe! We live in a crazy part of the world that doesn’t have White Castle, the Mid-Atlantic. These taste pretty darn close to the real thing. Next time I will probably use 1 pound of meat for 24 rolls, I thought there was slightly to much meat. We are already looking forward to making them again.
-
I tried this recipe because my husband was missing white castle burgers. He absolutely loved these, and he is a picky eater! I didn’t use the whole 2 cups of cheese, but that’s the only thing i changed from the original recipe. I will definately make this again. Thanks!
-
Made these for a ‘trial run’ before a football game. Excellent! Followed the suggestions and just wrapped in sprayed foil and placed right on rack. Pickles were a must. Thanks for a keeper!
-
my family loved these,we’re huge krystal fans and this is the closest i’ve ever seen in the way of homemade krystal burgers. so thanks very much for this one Dena. will make again and again.no doubt.
-
Amazing! My family loved these. Made as written. Easy to prepare. Will make over and over! Thanks for a great recipe…
-
These are delicious! I tested the recipe last night before using it for a party this weekend and was very impressed-the whole family raved. They’re simple to make, and you can easily brown the meat and onion ahead of time. Once the cheese and mayo were added, the consistency allowed me to form small patties. I worried about what the baking would do to them, but the buns got crispy on the edges and the cheese bubbled a little while it cooked. I baked it the whole 30 min. in foil as directed. They’ll be easy to assemble ahead of time, keep them in the foil and then pop them in the oven when the guests start to arrive. It’s not a typical slider, but they’re fun and delicious! Would make a great appetizer!
-
These are AWESOME! They are so easy to put together and taste great. My guys really loved them. I halved the recipe w/ no problem. I will be making these again! Thanks for posting. 🙂
-
I made this recipe eactly as it’s posted for a video game themed birthday party for my husband. They were pretty good. I might add a touch less soup mix – but otherwise everyone I love the recipe. Everyone loved them!! Very easy to do as well.
-
Loved these! They tasted a lot like Krystal burgers, which have always been a guilty pleasure for me. I used 1 lb ground turkey with 12 Hawaiian rolls, and there was too much meat mixture to fit in the rolls, so I’d rec having extras. Everything else was great!
-
Made these for dinner for 3 families of 4 kids each – picky eaters! They all loved it! I will definately make again.
-
This is real fast, real simple dinner that pleases even my pickest eaters. Momma likes
-
This is great. The kids loved them. Even packed them for lunch the next day. I am making them again for a Halloween party. Real comfort food.
-
This recipe is delicious! I prepared these burgers for a party and they were a hit!
-
GREAT! I used a taco seasoning mix because that’s what I had on hand in my pantry. These are a perfect size, and the mixture freezes well if you don’t want to use all of it at once.
-
tastes like krystal’s. i left out the mayo and subbed with a little sour cream. added mustard and pickles before placing in the oven and they were perfect. i also used sarah lee reg white dinner rolls.
-
Loved them!! Recipe was easy to do and turned out great.
-
made this recipe just as it’s written, although i did skip the cookie sheet as some had suggested. they turned out great and my husband raved 🙂 so simple and really good! i’ll definitely be making these again!
-
These Taste Just Like White Castle Burgers! I Make These Every Weekend While Watching Nascar & Football. Thank You For Sharing.
-
the boys love these! very man food!
-
For easy and good too. Everyone at the party liked them and I was asked for the recipe several times. My son loved them so much he wants me to make them for his birthday party.
-
These are delicious!! I love to eat White Castle burgers when I visit Chicago and these are even better. I also used the King Hawaiian rolls and baked in foil only.
-
I have made these twice and I did not cook the meat before adding to the buns. I just mixed everything together, put the mixture on the buns and baked for 30 min. They turned out fantastic!!!
-
They were easy and a hit with the football crowd
-
These did not work for my family at all. Scaled it down to make 12, called for 1/2 cup mayo, put less the 1/4 cup and the mayo was all I could taste – not good. Bummer, was hoping this could be come a new add in to the rotation since it is easy to prepare. Oh well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose…
-
Really good flavor, family liked them a lot. I accidentally added the mayo and cheese while the heat was still on, which cooked those some with the meat and soup, but I think that helped make it not taste as “mayonnaise-y” (also cut the recipe in half, with just one lb of beef, and used 1/4 cup mayo). Loved them with pickles. Will probably make again!
-
So good! I followed the recipe exactly.
-
Very tasty. I followed the recipe as provided and everyone at work ate them up first thng on food day!
-
Sorry but none of my crew liked them. Made them for a Christmas party.
-
These were VERY good! My hubby gave me a fist pump and said “THIS HAVE to go in the regular rotation!” He was skeptical with not making “patties” but as soon as he tasted them he shut up! 🙂 I didn’t listen and put these on a cookie sheet and the bottoms did crisp up a bit. Next time a will put right on the rack and not seperate until after they come out of the oven.
-
LOVED THESE! I scaled down to 1lb and used a full envelope of beefy onion soup mix, and dollar rolls…yummy yummy!
-
I wish I could go higher than 5 stars! I now live 3 hours from the nearest White Castle so I was soooo excited to try these & was NOT disappointed! I see larger sized jeans in my future! Thanks Dena (you’re my new best friend) :0)
-
these are easy and tasty!thanks:)
-
This was really easy and was good. I wish I would have seen the note earlier about just using the foil without the cookie sheet as I cooked this 10 minutes less than what it called for and the bottoms were burned.
-
A quick and easy hit with adults and kids! I didn’t have any onion mix so just used salt, pepper and onion powder while cooking meat and they still tasted ‘authentic’. Used both Hawaiian roles for kids and larger buns for adult with success with each. Can’t wait to make for a larger crowd during football.
-
My family loved these! Thanks for the great, easy to make recipe.
-
Tried to make these a *little* healther by using lean ground turkey in place of beef, and low-fat Mayo and 2% shredded sharp cheddar. NO ONE could tell the difference! They were a huge hit! Great appetizer for football parties. Next time, I think I will even add some diced onion though for personal preference.
-
These burgers are wonderful. I make them every other week. I get the sliced dinner rolls from GFS (they are perfect) I also have added extra dehydrated onions when browning the burger. I think they are better than White Castle!
-
These mini burgers are great!!! I wasn’t sure about them at first, after reading some of the different reviews!! I made them for watching the AFC championship and maybe they were better because the COLTS won, however, they were delicious!!! Add pickle and mustard and they taste very similar to white castle burgers!!! YUMMY!!
-
I followed the recipe almost to a ‘T.’ I omitted the pickles, and added two different kinds of cheese (specifically, sharp cheddar and a little smoked gouda) and hot sauce before baking. The boyfriend LOVED them. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It’s a real keeper. 🙂
-
Great advice to just cook these wrapped in foil and of course drain the beef and cool before adding the cheese and mayo and using 1/2 to 3/4 of the onion mix ! The only addition I made to the recipe that continues to result in men and women asking for my recipe is: I add a special butter sauce to the top, borrowed from another great recipe. Here it is: 2 tbsp minced onion flakes, 1 tbsp worchestershire sauce, 1 tbsp Dijon or Spicey Mustard (not the regular yellow), 1/2 cup melted butter. You melt these together and brush ontop of the buns just before you put in the oven to bake. The men who have eaten this, always ask for the recipe!
-
just like white castle! very tasty & easy. will definately make these again.
-
Had these for Friday night with Bacon Cheese Fries – Wow very good. The bakery at the grocery had their own slider buns which we used. They were good, but I think next time I’ll try the Hawaiian rolls. Thanks for the recipe!
-
I made these 3 times before I realized I was doing it wrong, but it turned out great! And it was easier than the original! I mix everything together, RAW VERY lean ground beef, then shape into balls and flatten slightly to fit on the bun bottom, put on the top and cover the pan with foil, tightly, bake! They did not turn out greasy! yummy next time I might put the pickle on too.
-
Yummy! These are tasty! I used ground turkey, diced onions, baked with the pickle and only 1 tbsp of onion soup mix (I was afraid it would be too salty). They definitely remind me of White Castle burgers. Will be making these again, for sure.
-
Hi, everyone. I just finished dinner and guess what I made these burgers for dinner. My husband really liked them. I followed the recipe as it was written. However, I used cooking spray in the bottom of the skillet and instead of using small buns I used kaiser buns. Next time I will use smaller buns and pickles. Tonight I used slices of tomatoes. I did use only one pound of ground beef. We both thought they were delicious. Thanks for the terriffic recipe.
-
I made these yesterday for my very picky 13-year-old son and he loved them. This kid normally hates onions, mayo, and will only tolerate cheese, but he devoured these. I liked them too. Added just a bit more mayo and cheese and some bacon. Now I know what I’m making Superbowl Sunday.
-
These were great!! I wanted to make hamburgers for dinner but only had 2 large premade burgers. I chopped them up and used them for this recipe. I cut it in half and it made 4 large burgers. Just enough for my family. Everyone LOVED them. Will definitely make again!
-
These are really good. Made them last night for my daughter and me, so only used half a recipe. Used potato dinner rolls (store was out of hawiian dinner rolls, but these were just as good) and used a little over half a pack of onion soup mix. Only baked about 15-20 minutes. I think she wants them again tonight. Definately will make a whole batch for my house-warming party. I think this is the first recipe that I didn’t need to change a thing. Thanks for the good idea!
-
These were excellent!! My husband hasn’t stoppd telling me how good they were and are we going to have them once a week! Only made one change (unusual) by adding a chopped shallot to the beef while browning. Thanks for the great recipe!
-
These are a hit with my clan. I make them with Hawaiian rolls, and increase onion soup to two packets.
-
WOW. Just WOW. So, so good.
-
fABULOUS. With essentially the same ingredients, this makes a fantastic hamburger. The onion soup mix is what makes the difference.
-
really good recipe. Added banana peppers instead of pickles.
-
Fan-Tastic! I added Montreal steak seasoning to the beef. Placed burgers in a baking dish and covered with foil! Do brush the tops with the butter/onion flake/mustard sauce as someone had posted. Very good!!
-
enjoyed the sliders very much, Used rehydrated onions in place of onion soup mix. Chilled in refrigerator for 3 hours and spread on regular size buns. enough for 8 buns. cooked four buns for 30 to 40 min. Froze the uncooked buns for another time. Used French’s spicey brown mustard.Will try frozen sliders inabout a week. Mama Kat
-
WOW!!! These are YUMMY. I don’t do the typical slider from the restaurants. These however, I could eat and eat. My kids also loved them. They decided they were definitely Super Bowl Sunday food.
-
These were fun to make. They tasted just like I remember White Castle’s tasting even though I haven’t had one since I was a kid. It took me right back!
-
These were very easy and excellent tasting. My entire family (husband, myself, and four younger daughters) all loved these! These are definitely a crowd pleaser. I will make these again and again.
-
Served these for Super Bowl and were really liked by my gang. I omitted the onion soup entirely and replaced it with lots of fresh minced onion, garlic and onion powders and black pepper. Definitely tasted very much like White Castle and I’ll certainly be making this again. Thanks so much Minnesota_Girl!
-
A big hit at our superbowl party! I followed other reviewers advice and prepared in the morning, kept buns intact (not separated), and put pickles on before wrapping in greased foil. Turned out great!
-
Fabulous! I followed the recipe exactly and was blown away that they tasted exactly like White Castles, which I can’t get since I moved. Thank you!!!!!!
-
Delicious! I’m not a big meat eater, so for me to make this recipe was a big step for me. I did change it a bit. I used ground turkey instead of beef and instead of 1/2 cup mayo, i used mostly sour cream and a dab of mayo(not a fan). I’m not sure if this is the reason the sliders turned more into Sloppy Sliders, but regardless, they were an absolute hit! Thanks for the great recipe!
-
I made these and even my sometimes picky grandchildren ate them. They are easy to make and tasty too. Next time, I will probably add some peppers to bring some heat to them.
-
We tried this tonight. My son and husband liked it alot, I thought it was just pretty good. I put half the mixture on Pepperidge Farms Slider Buns and half on the small sweet dinner rolls. All three of us like the small sweet dinner rolls better.
-
Yum! I halved the recipe quite easily. The bottom still got a little hard, but not bad, even using just foil and without the pan as per additional instructions. Will make again. Thanks for sharing.
