I have so many memories of grabbing White Castle Cheeseburgers when we would go to Nashville to visit family or whenever we would pass one on the road during a trip. They are now a big favorite with my family. Whenever the kids see a White Castle, they always want to stop. Where we live, we have Krystal. It’s very similar but not the same.
One day I went on a quest to try my hand at making some of my own here at home. I loaded up trusty Google and found quite a few recipes. Some called for bread crumbs, others for peanut butter. Yep, you heard that right.
I made up my own little recipe using a combination of several that I found online and they are perfect! The boys gobble these right up!
Please excuse the pictures but it was after dark when I made these and we were all starving, so I just grabbed a couple quick pictures to get these on here for you guys. I will update the pictures later.
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pkt. Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- ¼ cup rehydrated minced onion flakes
- 8 slices American Cheese
- 12 Sara Lee (or similar) dinner rolls
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Spray a large lipped cookie sheet with cookie spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and onion soup mix.
- Gently press the ground beef onto the cookie sheet. It should make a nice thin layer over the entire sheet.
- Sprinkle the minced onion over the meat and pat down.
- Bake in the oven to 20 minutes. The meat will shrink up and pull away from the edges. You'll end up with about ¾ of a pan of meat.
- When done, remove from the oven and soak the undersides of your buns in the excess grease in the pan. This is what makes them taste even more authentic!
- Now top the meat evenly with American Cheese slices and cook for 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for just a couple minutes before using a pizza cutter to cut into patties.
- Now put your patties on your hamburger buns and serve!
- Optional: You can add condiments of your choosing. pickles, ketchup and mustard are standard on the real White Castle burgers.
What is your favorite fast food burger place?? Besides White Castle, I like Wendy’s, Sonic and Five Guys. Yum!
I like these photos, Shari, and the burgers look dee-licious! We had Krystal in Mississippi, and I had White Castle when I visited family up north. Now I’m in California and we have neither, but this post makes me want to make a batch of my own to remember the good ole’ days 🙂
Thanks for your sweet comments, Andi! I think you should definitely whip up a batch!
I’ll admit it … I love these. The lipton soup mix is genius. I bet it makes it taste just like them.
please comment on the size of lipped cookie sheet that you used. Thanks
Thanks for your question, Patti! I used a 11×17 lipped cookie sheet. Let me know if you make these! 🙂

I used your recipe tonight and loved it. They tasted great! I used to live in Michigan and loved going to White Castle. Then we lived in Kentucky and they had a Krystal’s, I must agree they are good but not the same.
I am so glad that you tried it and loved it! It is a family favorite here! We lived in Kentucky for awhile as well.:)
Hubby just finished making these and they are delish! Well done!
Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting, Tiffany! These are a family favorite around our house. We make them a few times each month. 🙂
