OM gosh! Do you not have White Castles over there? Basically a little two-three bite burger, usually with onions, and the burger gets gooey with grease and good stuff. When White Castles were first made here, they made them on a flat top with lard, onions and then pickles thrown on top. They may haunt your digestive system later, but they are oh, so good!

Ahhhh.... ok... A slider is a burger then....

We dont have White Castle here. Heck, we just got our first Krystals about 2 years ago and Krispy Kreme is only about 4 or 5 years here.

I believe it is a naval mess term.
Sliders = Hambuger
Rollers = Hotdogs

Don't know if you can really call a White Castle sammie a hamburger. It is, sorta, but not really. If I remember, they're square, maybe 2 or 3 inches, with more onion and grease than meat. Oh yeah, they were (are) good!

If I was shooting for jucy I would skillet/griddle cook those bad boys and let 'em soak up all the extra grease. Maybe toss some chopped onions on the griddle too. Then butter up those little buns and add them on griddle just to make sure you didnt miss anything...bacon, cheese. If you are gonna be bad, might as well be really bad. :wink:

If I remember right, there's a LOT of onion in the meat mixture. Probably to help keep cost down. Skillet or griddle would be the way to go, with extra oil floating around to help with any cholestoral (?) shortage.

Get 73% burger. Flatten in a rectangle shape to about 1/4 thick on wax paper. season and then freeze till semi-froze. Slice right to left and bottom to top creating 2 - 1/2 " squares. A pizza cutter works pretty good for this. Then fry 'em with a little bacon grease. You can figure it out from there. :wink:

The sliders I've had are heavy with onion on the bun but not in the meat.

Same basic operation to make Wendy's burgers.

Good way to do them.

Don't forget to chop the onion real fine and fry it up in the bacon grease right next to the burgers on the griddle.
