Hamburger Sliders

Small hamburger “sliders” were named in the 1940s by US Navy sailors. The nickname was a reference to their greasiness. The first sliders were created in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas by the American chain restaurant, White Castle. Sliders began evolving in the early 2000s and are now made with chicken, pork, and veal. Upscale restaurants even offer this fun alternative to traditional hamburgers. Recipes vary, with some including dry onion soup mix in the meat. Sliders can be made with or without cheese.
