The BBQ Report

Alton Brown brings us a great recipe for Mini Man Burgers, which is his version of the slider — little two-bite cheeseburgers like the kind you get at White Castle. I’ve made these for several big cookouts, and they’ve always turn out to be big crowd pleasers. People can eat a little or a lot, so these things can be little party appetizers or a full meal. I have found that potato rolls make good buns for these guys. Here’s a few similar recipes for comparison, some adding onions, cheese, and other extras:

• White Castle Chesseburgers (a close knockoff anyhow)
• A recipe for Mini Hamburgers that includes sage
• Another White Castle knockoff, this one has baby food in it, so I can’t endorse it
• A pan-fried version that uses english muffins
