Where I live in South Carolina, there are no Krystal or White Castle burger places to be found within a few hundred miles of our home. So my husband always wants to stop at Krystal Burgers when we hit Georgia and get some lunch as we head down to Florida.

These little slider-sized burgers are incredibly easy to make at home. First, you mince some onions and scatter them on a baking sheet. After that, dot the surface with ground beef.

Then, pat down the ground beef until it spreads thinly and evenly across the baking sheet covering the onions.

Divide the meat into patties with a knife or pizza wheel. Then, with a drinking straw, skewer, or chopstick, poke holes into each patty. This allows steam to escape up from the onions and through the patties.

Bake in the oven and viola, a stack of Homemade Krystal Burgers.

Add fries, pickles, and condiments and you’re done. Being able to create these tasty burgers at home is a treat for my family.

Ingredients

1 small onion, finely diced
2 lbs. ground beef, 80/20
1 tbsp beef bouillon
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2-3 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. black pepper
½ cup water
2 packages of 12 count dinner rolls, sliced in half horizontally

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375 °F.
Spread the diced onion on a medium sized baking sheet, set aside.
Add ground beef, water, beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to a large bowl.
and mix thoroughly to make a paste.
Drop the meat mixture in even dollops on top of the onions. Carefully press the meat so that it covers the entire baking sheet.
Score the meat mixture, making 24 even squares with a sharp knife or pizza wheel.
Use a straw to make holes in each square. This allows steam to rise up through the meat.
Bake at 375 °F for approximately 12-15 minutes. There will be a lot of juices released as the meat cooks, drain off liquids prior to plating.
Serve burgers on mini slider buns, dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls topped with pickle chips, cheese, and mustard.

I can’t wait to try this next week! My husband and I live in North Carolina and are always craving krystals. We are from Florida so when we go back to visit we pig out on those delicious little burgers. I showed my husband your recipe and he was so excited.

Hi! I am from Florida, too, now living in South Carolina. We do the same on drives back to see my family. These are a fun treat at home in the in-between times. I hope you enjoy them. The steamed onions (and soft rolls) make the difference for me.

Hello! Just a quick question. There’s water listed under the ingredients, but I don’t see it in the directions. Do I mix it into the ground beef mixture? Thank you for posting the recipe! My husband is a huge Krystal’s fan and there isn’t anything like it here in WA. He’s very excited for me to make them! :)

Hi Haley! Yes, it’s mixed into the ground beef for some added moisture. Thanks for asking. I’ve gone back and included it in the instructions. So sorry for the confusion.

Hi. A friend of mine used to make these. It was a similar recipe, but he added a jar of beef baby food to get the texture right. They were very yummy.
