"Buy 'em by the sack full!" In 1972, the burgers were $0.10/each where I lived and my parents would buy 50-60 burgers and 8 orders of fries for our family treat every now and then. Our family dog, a black lab, was also included for a couple burgers and some fries.

@@heisenberg2966exactly. Never feed onions to dogs, cooked or not. In general, people shouldn't give pets human food because "well if it's good enough for us, then obviously, by default, it's good enough for an animal". No it's not. Flawed logic. If you wanna give your dog human food as a treat, just google whether it's safe or no so you don't poison your pet.

@zchris87v80 3 ай бұрын

I've never had one from the restaurant since there are none around me, but I did make my own by shaping meat into a 9x13 pan on wax paper, removing it, dividing them up, poking holes in them, then adding water and dried minced onions to the pan before placing the burgers back on top of the rehydrated onions. Put this on the grill until done. Topped with cheese and pickles on a slider bun and wow were they delicious.

I grew up in north Jersey and have loved WC since I was a kid. We moved to Vermont 25 years ago, so I only get to have them when we go on "vacation" to NJ. I've tried the copycat recipes...but here's what I started doing (and they really taste authentic!). When I've used ground beef rolled out thin and then frozen/partially frozen...it never really looked like WC burgers. I looked closely at a burger the last time we were there and they reminded me of "Steakums" (the frozen steak patties). I put a small film of water in a pan with some dehydrated onions and put one frozen steak patty (per burger) in when the water begins to boil. I've tried putting the buns on top of the cooking meat (is it really meat? IDK...but I don't ask questions), but I've had better luck steaming the buns in another pan. I sprinkle some more onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder on the top and when it is mostly cooked through, I add cheese. When it is cooked, I fold it over and place it on the bun (with whatever you want on it). Sincerely, the best tasting copies I've ever done (and I've tried many time through the years...and, ten times easier than any of these recipes.

@susanburrage2776 Жыл бұрын

Krystal patties have no holes in them & are laid directly on the grill. When hot enough to start "dancin", the patties are flipped, then a pinch of onions are placed on top of the patty then topped with the buns like those shown for the White Castles. No raw meat on the patty that way either. Never had White Castle but love Krystals. Worked there for a long while years ago.
