Hello Fellow Slider Fans!

I love Sliders and originally from Chicago where White Castle is everywhere!
I now live in Florida and found them in the frozen section but they don’t taste quite the same as fresh ones from White Castle! Great beef patty with onions grilled right on! Soft bun and pickle with melted cheese!
I take apart the frozen ones, heat only the patty, onions, cheese…toast the bun, then reassemble, lol.
I also tried making my own sliders, but they don’t have the signature holes for steaming…I’ll find a way!

In 1921 with $700 of borrowed money, the first White Castle opens in Wichita, Kansas, offering hamburgers at the unbelievable price of $.05 a piece.

I was eating sliders in the 60′s at 127th & Western, Blue Island, IL

Please fix yourself: “burger bun is also placed onto of the cooking patty.”

Also, I know people speak this way but, “should always try and replicate…” should be try to replicate…”

I thought the name came from Navy tradition, where the motion of the ship led to some new names for food items, eg sliders (hamburgers) and rollers (hot dogs / sausages).

The information is fine but there is no mention as to why small hamburgers are called ‘”SLIDERS” What does “sliders” mean with regard to the little hamburgers?. Thanks.

I am an Aussie who loves my burgers, and Slyders are great! My Australian take on them I add ground bacon, steamed, (in lemon juice) ground mushrooms, sauteed onion & garlic, fresh oregano & a little bit of parsley to the raw ground beef (in a proccessor) 1/2 a teaspoon of sweet paprika, murray river pink sea salt (Aussie product..& awsome for adding subtle flavour!) & ground pink & white peppercorns..make into thin, disk shaped small patties & cook over onions sauteed & then softened with a little strong natural beef stock. Put into a small SOFT hamburger bun with a squeeze of ketchup & a slice of cheese. (pickles optional) DELICIOUS! Try it..you will not be disappointed!

Sliders are not mini burgers. They are totally different. Slider specifically use a steam method to cook the meat and mini burgers is just a tiny version of the standard burger.
