White Castle Copycat Hamburgers
Small and packed with irresistible flavor, it's no shock why White Castle sliders have become so famous. Our copycat recipe looks and tastes just like White Castle's infamous burger, minus the cardboard holder. Complete with a pickle slice, these sliders make an excellent lunch. Don't tell you friends you made them, and see if they can tell they weren't picked up at the drive-thru. It will be fun to see their reactions!
