Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Minced white onion
- 8 Gluten-free slider buns
- 4 slices American cheese (gluten-free certified)
- 8 slices Pickle chips
- 2 tbsp Butter (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 sheet Plastic wrap
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but handle the mixture gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Place the meat mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap. Flatten it into a rectangle approximately 10x6 inches and about 1/4 inch thick. Cover with another layer of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the meat is chilling, sauté the minced onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
Remove the meat from the fridge and discard the plastic wrap. Cut the meat into 8 equal square patties using a knife or pizza cutter. Each patty should roughly match the size of the slider buns.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully transfer the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
Place the cooked patties on the prepared baking sheet. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese (halved diagonally to fit the patties). Transfer to the oven for about 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Slice the gluten-free slider buns in half. If desired, toast them lightly in a clean, dry skillet for extra texture.
To assemble, start by placing a cooked patty with melted cheese onto the bottom half of each bun. Add a spoonful of caramelized onions on top, followed by a pickle slice. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Gluten-Free White Castle Sliders!
