You’ve heard of Krystal Burgers, right? What about White Castle?
Anyway, they are both a restaurant chain that sells the best little sliders. They are really addicting. They’re steamy, dreamy and taste oh so good.
Well, I have found a copycat recipe that tastes just like the real thing. I am SERIOUS! I was skeptical at first. But, after taking one bite! My first thought was, “Oh my Gosh, How WONDERFUL!”
You have to try these great little nuggets of love. Don’t make me twist your arm. 😉
Krystal/White Castle Burgers
recipe from:CopyKat
12 – 14 Dinner Rolls (Parker house shape, 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ size)
1 lb. lean ground beef (80% lean)
1/2 C. water (for beef)
1/2 tsp. Salt
3/4 C. diced onions
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 – 1 C. Water (for onions)
Dill Hamburger Slices
In food processor place ground beef, salt and water. Process for a few seconds so water and salt are blended through ground beef and meat should look a little pasty. On a 11″ x 13″ jelly roll pan place plastic wrap on bottom. Place hamburger in middle and with another piece of plastic wrap on top of meat. Roll hamburger out to 1/4″ thick. Remove plastic wrap and cut meat into 3″ x 3″squares, leave ground beef pieces on tray. You should get between 12 and 14 squares. Perforate each piece five times with the end of a plastic straw, this will give the meat little steam holes. Cover hamburger with plastic wrap and place in freezer until meat is partially frozen but not solid.
Place onions, beef bouillon, and 1/2 cup water in fry pan. On medium low heat saute and stir onions until they are clear, more water may be added as needed. Turn heat off until ready to cook hamburger patties.
When beef patties are ready to prepare, turn fry pan on medium low heat and add enough water to onions just so the bottom of fry pan is covered. Place patties in pan and cover with lid.
Frying time is just a few moments. Turn patties and cook until done but not dry. The patties should be juicy. When hamburgers are finished cooking place on top of a roll add pickles, cover hamburgers so they will steam slightly or pop in microwave covered just for a few seconds until ready to serve.
Also: add cheese, mustard & ketchup
Enjoy
Me and my fiance did something like this a few months ago. We badly wanted krystals. But with nothing but food stamps, it just wasn’t possible to go the place. So between me and him we devised a way to do it.
Bought the rolls. And chopped onions finely and added to the hamburger and portioned em out in square size but a bit biigger so when they cooked they shrunk to the proper size. Added the things that are on the krystal burger. And had fries we made on the side. It was the best date night ever. LoL.
Amazing what you can do with imagination and no where to go. Ty for sharing the recipe. I love hearing bout others recipes. Have a great time cooking.
