The Original Slider®

$2.65 – 140 Cal

The Original Slider® is the foundational staple of the White Castle menu. It features a 100% USDA-inspected beef patty that is steam-grilled on a bed of savory, rehydrated onions. The patty is characterized by five distinct holes, which allow the steam and onion flavor to penetrate the meat and the signature bun sitting on top. Each slider is topped with a single crisp dill pickle and served on a warm, soft, square bun.

Ingredients:

100% Beef Patty: USDA-inspected beef, seasoned with a blend of salt and pepper.
Signature Slider Bun: Enriched bleached wheat flour, sugar, water, and soybean oil.
Onions: Dried minced onions that are rehydrated and grilled to create the signature steam.
Dill Pickle: A single slice containing cucumbers, vinegar, water, and salt.

Allergens:

Contains: Wheat (bun)
Soy (used in bun conditioners)
Dairy Note: While the slider itself contains no cheese, it is often prepared on shared surfaces that handle Milk; some bun recipes also list milk as an ingredient.

Cross-Contamination: Prepared on shared equipment where Fish, Egg, and Shellfish are present.

How to make The Original Slider®:

Prepare the Onions: Soak 1/2 cup of dried minced onions in water for at least 30 minutes until fully soft.
Form the Meat: Press lean ground beef into very thin 2-inch squares. Poke 5 small holes in each patty using a straw or dowel to allow steam to pass through.
The Steam-Grill: Spread the rehydrated onions on a hot griddle. Place the thin beef patties directly on top of the onions.
The Steaming Process: Place the bottom bun (cut side down) directly on the raw patty, then place the top bun over it. This traps the steam, cooking the meat and softening the bun at once.
Assembly: Use a spatula to lift the slider, ensuring some onions stay attached. Add a single dill pickle slice and serve.
