Frozen White Castle burger sliders take only about 1 minute in the microwave. The soft, steamed bun makes for an irresistible alternative to sitting in a drive thru!
Wrap 2 sliders with the top bun facing down in a damp (not wet) paper towel. You do not need to separate them
Place wrapped sliders still bun-side down on a microwave safe plate
Cook on high for 35 seconds
Flip the burgers over, leaving the wrapping on, so they are now bottom bun side down on the plate
Cook again on high for an additional 35 seconds
Burgers are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F
Cool for 1-2 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
White Castle burger sliders are usually available in quantities of 6 or 16 frozen, though sometimes you can find larger quantities at a Sam’s Club or similar store. A serving is 2 sliders, so grab as many as you need based on how many you’re feeding!
Note that you can substitute cheese sliders, jalapeno cheese sliders, or chicken sliders instead of the original burger. However, chicken sliders take about 10 seconds longer and cheese sliders require about 20 seconds longer to cook than original (in a 1000W microwave)
For additional toppings, I always recommend adding pickle slices, as the frozen version does not come with pickles like you’d get in the restaurant. Turns out pickles don’t freeze well!
You can also add any other toppings or condiments that you’d normally put on a hamburger, if you’d like
If your defrost your White Castle sliders ahead of time, cook the thawed sliders for 20 seconds per side instead (assuming a 1000W microwave)
White Castle burgers should not be refrozen after thawing or cooking. Store any unused portions in the refrigerator and reheat before consuming
The damp paper towel is used to help retain moisture, which steams the bun and helps keep it soft
Exact nutritional values will vary based on flavor selected, any additional condiments or toppings, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
