While clearing out my pantry, I found a box of onion soup mix that I bought especially for this recipe and had forgotten over time. Looks like I need to be making regular purchase of the soup mix. Very delicious burgers. Thank you for sharing.

We love these. We don't have White Castle nearby and only seem to make the long trek to get some when I am pregnant I sometimes grind the soup mix in a mortar and pestle because my Dh doesn't like onion pieces. We use brown and serve rolls for buns and my toddlers love having thier own little burgers.

I have had the pleasure of having both White Castle and Krystal burgers. Since neither is available in my area, when I saw these, I knew I had to make them. For the onion soup mix, I used my Onion Seasoning Mix recipe 89857. I mixed the hamburger mixture and patted the meat out somewhat and then used a glass to roll it out to fit the pan. I was pleasantly surprised when the meat was done in the 10 minutes specified. In order to cut these into those square burgers, I used my pizza cutter. Worked like a charm. These are as close to Krystal's as I am going to get for awhile and they definitely satisfy my craving. For the buns I used Hawaiian King dinner rolls which were perfect. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

Here is an easy way to prep the mini burgers. Line a jellyroll or sheet pan with parchment paper, and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll meat with a rolling pin until it covers the surface of the pan; it should be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap, and sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mixture. Fold the meat in half, from side to side, using the parchment paper. Use a pizza wheel to cut the meat into even squares. I also thought sprinkling minced, dried onion flakes on top might be a good way to absorb the juices and use on top of the burgers for those who would not mind the "excess drainage".
