Ingredients

  • 1 pound of 85% lean ground Beef
  • 16 small Buns (Dinner Rolls work quite nicely or you can cut hot dog buns in half)
  • 1 cup dehydrated Onion – rehydrated
  • Sliced Dill Pickles

Instructions

  • Divide the beef into 16 equal-sized pieces.
  • Form each into a 2 1/2-inch square, very thin patties. Do this on waxed paper.
  • Then “cookie-cut” five holes in each pattie. The pattern should resemble 5 on a dice. A CLEAN pen cap or small bottle cap works nicely.
  • Freeze these 16 patties.
  • On a pre-heated 375°F electric griddle, lay about 1 1/2 tablespoons of onions for each patty you want to cook along with a little of the water from the onion. The onions should be spread into a single layer.
  • Immediately place frozen patty directly on top of onions and press down.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes right on top of the onions. The holes in the beef will allow the steam to cook the top side. (You don’t flip)
  • Place the buns on the patties at about the halfway mark. (See Notes Below)
  • Place bottom buns on a serving plate.
  • Remove burgers from griddle and place on bottom buns.
  • Add a dill pickle slice and you are done.
If you want to assemble your burger quickly like they do at White Castle -
  1. Place the top bun face-down on the pattie.
  2. Place the bottom bun face-down on the top bun.
  3. When the meat is done, using a spatula, remove the three layers and grab the bottom bun.
  4. Flip it over and place it under the spatula.
  5. Slide the burger off of the spatula.
  6. If you have done it correctly, it should be perfectly completed.
