Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large, finely diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices American cheese slices
- 6 whole slider buns
- 6 whole pickle slices
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Place the ground beef between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin, even sheet about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel off the top layer of parchment paper and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the beef into 6 square patties. Do not separate the patties.
Sprinkle the beef with salt and black pepper evenly, then set aside.
In a large skillet, spread the finely diced onion evenly over the surface of the pan.
Pour 1/4 cup of water over the onions to create steam and turn the heat to medium. Allow the onions to cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Carefully place the beef patties directly on top of the onion layer in the skillet without separating them.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and let the patties cook for about 4-5 minutes. The steam from the onions will cook the beef thoroughly.
Once the beef is cooked through, place one slice of American cheese on top of each patty and cover again for about 30-60 seconds until the cheese melts.
Cut the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves face-up onto a serving tray.
Using a spatula, scoop up one patty along with some of the onions and place it directly onto a bottom bun half.
Add one pickle slice to each slider and top with the remaining bun halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy the classic White Castle flavor!
