Habanero White Castles!  (A Jalapeno White Castle Clone)
 
If you have a White Castle within 50 miles of you, consider yourself lucky!
 
I grew up just outside of Chicago and have always loved my White Castles. By love, I mean Harold and Kumar haven't gotten anything on me.  Here in Georgia though, we do not have a Castle within at least a 7 hour drive (trust me, I looked). Okay, I admit it, I've made the drive as well. Nothing will make your belly sing with joy as seeing that castle sign high in the sky!
 
So for those of us who crave those moist little burgers of love, lets make our own!
 
The ingredient list is pretty basic.  This will make 18 White Castles.
 
DSC_0001.jpg

 
1lb Ground Chuck
9 slices of Habanero Cheese
2 Sweet Onions
18 Dinner Rolls
1 Cube Beef Bullion
18 Dill Pickle Slices
1 Cup Water
2 Tbsp Butter
 
To start I used a nonstick mat and a rolling pin and rolled out the beef to a thickness of about 1/4".  Then using a pizza cutter I cut it into 3" squares.  I used a thick straw to cut 5 holes in each burger.  White Castles do not get flipped, and rely on these holes to steam them to completion.

I then froze the burgers.  Once frozen I separated them and allowed them to partially thaw.
 
Cut the rolls in half and cut the cheese into 3" squares.
 
Next I prepared the onions.  They were cut thin and into about 1/2" pieces.  I laid them out on a cast iron griddle and added water with a cube of bullion dissolved in it.  Cook them until they are just starting to become translucent.  Ensure they are evenly spread with no large spaces in between. 
 
Add a bit more water, and lay the burgers on top.  Cover with a large metal bowl and allow to steam.  When the burgers are just slightly starting to cook on top, cover with the bottom buns.  Place the top buns on next slightly offset.  Cover again.  Cook an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the burgers to finish and the buns to become well steamed.

Remove the burgers from the griddle with a thin spatula.  Make sure you get the onions as well when you remove them.  Add a pickle and a slice of cheese.  Add the top bun.

In fact, just thinking about those tender, moist little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystal every time you bite into ones...
 
...just makes me want to burn this motherf**ker down.
 
Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherf**ker down!

The Habanero cheese gave these little love burgers just the kick they need and I also used a habanero ketchup for extra spice.  Yes, I ketchup my White Castles!
 
Those turned out perfect and look just like the real deal, only better. Makes me want to go pick up a crave case and fat out. ( did you work at a white castle as a kid?)
 
I think pookie should make a cookbook from all the throwdowns we have done. Bet it would do well on sales. Even outside of our circle. 
 
bierz was right, one should be pulling eggs from the sous vide if it's down.
 
that was my first egg, and it will definitely not be my last ...
 
going to try the alternate method next time, 167F for 13 minutes ...
 
it's a higher temp, shorter duraction variant that reportedly yield a firmer white, while the yolk remains the same ... at the trade-off of not having an open end time, and being a temperature that will ruin a meat if one's in there, and is only OK for vegetables etc ...
 
anyways ... good eats ... i polished off a quarter of a bottle of HS in the meal ...

Lol, no.  Just a lot of utube videos showing me how it is done!  Plus I spent the majority of my teenage years sitting at a WC drive thru at 3am, stoned out of my mind.  The grill is usually in sight from the window.
