Almost White Castle Hamburgers

Credit Chef Doozer

 These are really close to the real thing. My family was in heaven! They're great for dinner, football parties, or kid's birthday parties. I'm not real fond of White Castle myself but I gobbled these up. Note: To freeze: Assemble hamburgers less the condiments. Flash freeze, wrap in plastic wrap, put in a ziplock bag and label. To heat: Microwave until heated through.

• 1 ¹⁄₂ lbs ground chuck
• 1 (4 tablespoon) envelope onion soup mix
• 1 egg
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons water
• ¹⁄₃ cup breadcrumbs
• 24 small square dinner rolls
• American cheese (optional)
• pickle (optional)

• Sauce

• ¹⁄₂ cup mustard
• ¹⁄₂ cup ketchup

To Make:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Hamburgers: Mix first 6 ingredients and press into an ungreased 10 by 15 inch jelly roll pan.
3. Prick with a fork.
