White Castle Turkey Stuffing

By Miss Cellania in Food & Drink on Nov 19, 2009 at 1:58 pm

This recipe for turkey stuffing calls for “18 White Castle hamburgers (no pickles), chopped into 1-inch pieces,” (or you can substitute bread, but it won’t be the same). I suppose if you live in the southern part of the US, you could substitute Krystals. Both brands are commonly called sliders. The recipe is a part of Thanksgiving for Chicago chefs Chris and Jill Barron, who share their Thanksgiving cooking schedule. Link to story. Link to recipe. -via Boing Boing

Gross. Why would I want to make stuffing that causes diarrhea?

I haven’t eaten one of those white castle mini burgers since I was 8, but I’m pretty sure that they don’t qualify as sliders. Even if Wikipedia says they do.

A slider, as I understand it, is a thin piece of beef (not a patty) cooked at high temp on a griddle on top of onions, which is then served on a mini-burger bun. The steam from the onions does most of the cooking of the beef.

In other words, a slider seems like something pretty dang tasty, whereas a mini burger is just a small burger, and if it’s produced by this White Castle place, it’s not a very good small burger.

Kev, I don’t know where you got your info, but the term “slider” originated at White Castle as a name for their little burgers which are slid into a cardboard sleeve. (Some say they’re called sliders because of the way they exit your body.)Lots of restaurants are now serving mini-burgers called “sliders”, but it started at White Castle.

Uh, what do I do if I live on the west coast? We don’t have White Castles or Krystals in Washington.

James,
What you do is drop to your knees and thank (insert higher being of choice here) that you have not been subjected to these little monsters. After doing their ‘sliding’ thing it took more than two days to rid myself of the taste.

I love those weird little square burgers! I’m spending Thanksgiving with my vegan girlfriend, but I may sneak off and try this recipe on my own sometime.

No, from what I’ve read, White Castle avoided using the term Slider for many decades but eventually decided to go with it because their customers kept using the term. So they trademarked “Slyder”

Not that I go to White Castle, I live in the wrong country, for one thing, and on those occasions when I have gone, I’ve been unimpressed. It’s not really very good, is it?

Kev, so you`ve never had a Castle? Very addictive! We have them in Ky but my friends and family out west always want me to pick up a case on my way to the airport and carry them on. YUM

Not that I would relish the thought of White Castle stuffing…BUT White Castle was a definite guilty childhood secret pleasure my mom would sneak us off for. We came from the school of “Don’t tell your father!” and loved the subterfuge. Since that was about as devious as we got, it was all good!

Oh, and don’t forget the time we “smuggled” a 50 lb sack of potatoes across the Canadian border into NY. I felt like such a rebel perched atop the unholy haul in the backseat footwell! (Forty years later,I still need to get out more, huh?)

That poor baby looks absolutely stuffed. Where’s its Diet Coke?
