<\/a>We REALLY didn’t need to know this was possible. I really didn’t need to know how easy it was to make these things.<\/p>\n

On Friday’s show we discussed what we’d be eating for dinner this week. I was brainstorming some dinner ideas to save Jennifer the brain cells, and I came up with the idea of making homemade sliders. Basically, these are little cheeseburgers.<\/p>\n

Back in college after a late night of…we’ll just call it studying…I often went to White Castle and would get a bag of their mini-cheeseburgers, affectionately known as “sliders,” because of the way their greasiness made them slide so easily through one’s digestive track.<\/p>\n

As I’ve gotten older, I try to avoid these things. Down here in the south we don’t have White Castle, but we do have Krystal, which I consider to be a sub-par knock-off.<\/p>\n

But now, I feel like I don’t need either. We can make our own, and they were far superior to both.<\/p>\n

The way we did it was pretty easy.<\/p>\n

We started with 2.25 pounds of hamburger and flattened it out into a great big flat rectangle. I then cut the hamburger into 18 somewhat equally sized patties. I knew they’d shrink during cooking, so I made the patties a little larger than the size of the bun.<\/p>\n

The boys wouldn’t like onions, but the way they did it at White Castle was to actually cook the hamburger on a bed of onions. We chopped up enough onions for me and Jennifer, and let me tell you, this way was FAR superior to the ones without onions. I tried both, and the onions were incredible.<\/p>\n

We chopped up the onions very small, and very, very fine. Then we spread out a generous bed of chopped onions on the griddle and placed three patties directly on the onions so both cooked together. The other patties we just fried on the griddle.<\/p>\n

I flipped them back and forth until they were pretty much done and then put a layer of cheese on each of them.<\/p>\n

We used King’s Hawaiian Butter rolls, sliced in half, for the buns.<\/p>\n

Pure bliss. <\/p>\n

Tommy whined and complained until he saw how much his brothers loved them, and then he finally relented and ended up liking them, too.<\/p>\n

To make things even worse for our dietary needs, we fried homemade potato chips.<\/p>\n

It was unreal. They were just too stinking good. We don’t need to be doing this too often.<\/p>\n
