June 3, 2016 at 8:39 pmDoes the brand of dinner rolls matter? Some of those dinner rolls are pretty sweet and wouldn’t seem to really “copy” the White Castle hamburger.

June 3, 2016 at 11:50 pmI usually use store brand dinner rolls. I wouldn’t use the Hawaiian Sweet rolls as they would be too sweet and not taste right.

July 15, 2016 at 6:40 pmI love these! Tastw really close to white castle. At the end i find i have to drain off all of the grease from the meat before putting the buns on. Any thoughts?
Alison
July 17, 2016 at 12:17 amYes, you could drain the grease before putting it on the bun for a more healthier option and so the bun is not soggy either. But if you want the full White Castle effect you can keep the grease on it. LOL 🙂

December 17, 2016 at 4:04 pmWhy do you need to make the hole in the meat (step 5)? Thanks!

July 20, 2017 at 7:42 pmAwesome recipe! Made this multiple times for the family. I miss White Castle ever since moving and this is far better than the frozen crap in the store.

September 7, 2020 at 9:41 amMe too! My gramma used to bring us to the one near Woodbridge Mall in NJ. Nearest one is in Toms River NJ which I visited 3 years ago. Since 1987, we’ve lived in PA. The frozen ones don’t compare, so I’ll give your recipe a try soon! Yours got good reviews, so I’m confident it will turn out great!

March 18, 2018 at 7:34 pmI just made them they are really good but I think one thing is wrong I used 1 cup of the minced onions WOW it was over kill. I’ll make them again just no where that amount of onions
Alison
June 25, 2018 at 2:25 amSorry, I like onions. 🙂 If you don’t like them as much you can cut it in half.
Kathy
January 1, 2022 at 2:55 pmI love lots of onions too but felt like the dried minced onions were too much. If I remember correctly, White Castle uses actual minced onions grilled or sautéed and they’re sweeter. This recipe was great and I’ll try it next time using onions I mince and sauté. Thank you so much for a great recipe!

November 8, 2019 at 8:47 pmI grew up on White Castle hamburgers. I tried this recipe. They didn’t taste anything like the original, but they were still good. I think the recipe needs some tweaking, but if you never grew up on them I suppose you wouldn’t know.
Alison

January 30, 2023 at 8:55 pmI made these 3 times now. They are EXCELLENT! I enjoy making these because they are super easy and no mess! You can use dinner rolls, slider rolls or regular size burger buns. If using burger buns, simply section the meat squares before freezing to equal 8 squares. After cooking and before cheese put on, I “sized” the patties with one bun top and make an indent with my spatula.
