  • “I’ve been looking for a recipe like this for years, when I was a kid (55-60 years ago) my Mom would take me to Montgomery Wards they served a sandwich much like this.I used about 2 to 2-1/2lbs of ground beef, I put the dry soup, water and flour is a sauce pan and boiled on the stove, I then put everything in a Slow Cooker then I added a little Beef Bouillon and a little more water and cooked it all day I served it on buns with raw sweet onions. My husband really like it and he doesn’t care for Sloppy Joes LOVE IT! LOVE IT!Thanks for sharing.”

  • “zoyie,Hubby & I didn’t think it tasted tomuch like white castles, but very easy and tasty. Will have again.I added hamburger dill slices to the top of each sandwich.”

  • “A sloppy joe/loose meat sandwich with all the flavor of a White Castle burger! I added a little light cream at the end (about a tablespoon) for a richer texture. Served with American cheese, dill pickle slices, and a squirt of mustard. These would be terrific for a patio picnic, or to munch on at the camp site. Next time I may try making “White Castle Nachos”, preparing the meat mixture, then spooning it over tortilla chips and smothering them with shredded American cheese. Melt for a few minutes in the oven, then garnish with chopped dill pickles and a drizzle of mustard. (Belly growls while mouth waters) Who knows? “Next time” just may be today!!”

  • “pretty good. incresed flour and onion a bit. will use awnutz’s idea of adding a bit of beef bouillon…. it needed a bit of beefy flavor added to it. had added a little bit of minced garlic too. will make some more and more than likely experiment a lot more. thanks Donna M for something good, easy, and quick.”

  • “This was just okay for us.We absolutely adore White Castles….ate them for
    Thanksgiving dinner one year when the turkey crashed.This just didn’t have that slider flavor.”

  • “When we left New Jersey, we left The Castle behind. So sad. This recipe was a great W.C. “fix”. With the left overs, I added a whole bunch ( sorry I didn’t measure) of dried chili powder- maybe 6 tbs? We used this to make chili dogs- grilled hot dogs, yellow mustard, lots of this chili sauce, and chopped raw onion. YUMMY- tastes just like the texas wieners served at our fav. chili dog place in Jersey. One recipe, and two tastes of “home”. Thanks for posting.”

  • “Taste just like a White Castle!So yummy and so easy!”

  • “Delicious! I went a step further and added about a cup of red wine and a little Tone’s Steak Dust Seasoning…Yum! I think I’ll call it sloppy steak!”

  • “Donna, this was wonderful, I grew up on Krystal Burgers which are really similar to White Castle. I am going to make a big batch and keep warm in the crock pot, and serve on dinner rolls for my husbands next poker night (great snacks for hungry guys). Thanks again.”

  • “Very tasty and easy!My picky eater husband liked it and gave approval for throwing this into our rotation!”

  • “These were good.They did taste enough like White Castles to take the edge off of the WC craving.I added dill pickle to the bottom of the bun (underneath the meat) in order to help recreate the White Castle taste.”

  • “Loved it! Definately satisfies the White Castle craving!”

  • “These are just delicious! I usually add a tablespoon or so of sour cream to the mixture, just because i love sour cream. These are wonderful and different.”

  • “I’m surprised.MUCH better than I thought it was going to be.I halved it and got enough for 4 big hamburger buns.I mixed catsup and mustard, which is what I’ve always suspected was on the real hamburgers given that nasty color and spr”

  • “I used ground turkey.My DH kept saying… WOW it really tastes like White Castle!Don’t forget the mustard and pickles.SLIDERS ROCK!”

  • “This is a lot like another recipe I have made.I like to serve these on buns with mustard and pickles!”

  • “I loves these… I have also just used the ground beef with a can of frenh onion soup and flour, it does the same trick. I don’t live where i can go to a White castle and these fill my craveing”

  • “absolutely delicious! tastes nearly exact.”
