White Castle hamburgers

1/2 cup dried onion flakes,
2 pounds ground chuck- 80/20 ground beef
1/2 t. seasoned salt.
6 slices cheddar cheese
24 small party rolls- I use Martin's Potato Bread Party Rolls.
24 dill pickle slices.

Evenly spread the onions on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Gently press the ground
beef on top of the onion flakes. Press evenly making one giant patty. Sprinkle with seasoned salt. At this point you can use a drinking straw and poke holes throughout the meat. That is what they do with the original white castle burgers. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Using a paper towel, pat the excess grease from the top of the patty. Top with cheddar cheese, return to oven for 2 more minutes. Remove from oven, let set 5 minutes then cut into 24 patties. Slice open and separate each party roll. Place bottom of rolls on a large platter. Using a spatula lift patty with onion layer onto each bun bottom. Top each slider with a pickle slice then the bun lid. Serve immediately. Makes 24 Sliders.
