Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 12 pieces Slider-sized dairy-free sandwich buns
- 12 pieces Dill pickle slices
- 2 tbsp Neutral cooking oil (e.g., avocado or canola oil)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the beef mixture evenly onto the sheet, pressing it flat to form a thin, even layer. Use a spatula to ensure the meat reaches all edges.
Bake the beef in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. It should cook through and shrink slightly.
While the beef cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the neutral cooking oil and chopped onions. Sauté the onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease. Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide the beef into 12 evenly-sized squares.
To assemble the sliders, place a square of cooked beef onto the bottom half of each dairy-free bun. Top each with a spoonful of caramelized onions and a dill pickle slice. Cover with the top half of the bun.
If desired, warm the assembled sliders in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 3-5 minutes before serving to ensure everything is heated through.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free White Castle sliders!
