White Manna Sliders Recipe

Here’s a delicious recipe for White Manna Sliders, inspired by the famous diner in Hackensack, New Jersey. These sliders are known for their juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, and signature flavor.

Perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in, they bring the taste of classic American comfort food right to your table.

Ingredients

• For the Sliders:
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 slider buns (preferably soft, like Hawaiian rolls)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • American cheese slices (optional)
• For the Toppings:
  • Dill pickles, sliced
  • Mustard
  • Ketchup
  • Lettuce and tomato (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Onions

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Form the Patties

While the onions are cooking, divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions and shape them into thin patties. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Cook the Sliders

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties, and if using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty at this stage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked through.

Step 4: Assemble the Sliders

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the slider buns in a separate pan or oven. On the bottom half of each bun, place a cooked patty, followed by a generous spoonful of caramelized onions. Add pickles and condiments of your choice (mustard, ketchup, etc.) before placing the top half of the bun on each slider.

Step 5: Serve

Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, like fries or onion rings.

These White Manna Sliders are sure to be a hit at any gathering, offering a burst of flavor in every bite. They capture the essence of a classic diner experience and are incredibly easy to prepare.
