White Castle is offering a solution for home cooks in the USA who are looking for creative, budget-friendly ways to make the Thanksgiving holiday meal special with stuffing recipes made from Sliders. The family-owned fast food restaurant chain’s management boasts that its burger twist on tradition, whether made with frozen Sliders from the grocery aisle or Sliders picked up at the drive-thru, “delivers big flavor and big value, proving that festive feasts don’t have to break the bank.”
“White Castle has been part of Thanksgiving celebrations for more than three decades,” said Jamie Richardson, vice president of the Columbus, Ohio-headquartered company. “In a time when every dollar matters, our Slider stuffing recipes prove that you can have a memorable, delicious meal that’s fun to make and easy on the wallet. It’s a way to celebrate tradition and creativity at the same time.”
Here is a list of White Castle’s four stuffing recipes, all of which can be found at the chain’s website.
• Original Slider Stuffing — This is the classic recipe that started it all when first introduced in 1991 after a White Castle employee enhanced her grandmother’s family stuffing recipe with a sack of Sliders.
• Bacon Jalapeño Cheese Slider Stuffing — As its name implies, this variation, introduced in 2021, uses White Castle’s spicy Jalapeño Cheese Slider as the main ingredient. The recipe also includes pieces of crispy bacon, diced jalapeño peppers, celery, cilantro, cumin and shredded pepper jack cheese.
• Southwestern Jalapeño Cheese Slider Stuffing — This flavorful blend of southwestern ingredients, also introduced in 2021, takes the heat to the next level by adding extra jalapeño and poblano peppers while still highlighting traditional stuffing flavors.
• Slider Stuffin’ Muffins — These bite-sized pieces joined the stuffing lineup in 2022. They’re packed with corn, green onions, chili powder, a variety of peppers, and the main ingredient — Jalapeño Cheese Sliders — and baked in muffin tins to create individual-size servings.
