Chefs Jill and Chris Barron in Chicago make stuffing out of sautéed vegetables and White Castle hamburgers for their Thanksgiving menu. It may sound trashy, but in this feature by Michael Nagrant at Chicago Sun-Times, they say they wouldn't make it if it weren't tasty. Nagrant told Grub Street Chicago that the stuffing is indeed tasty, calling it "one of the best stuffings I ever made, including those I've made with bacon." Check out the recipe if you want to include it in your Thanksgiving meal.

If only Kerry Saretsky had had the recipe last year when she made Gourmet White Castle Hamburger Stuffing. The results were less than palatable.

There's no reason why this wouldn't be great. I use sausage in my stuffing, and this is basically very similar.

Might be a bit too sweet from the burger bun sweetness. Otherwise that bread, soft sauteed onion, animal fat, well seasoned, all steamed together is amazingly close to a simple bread stuffing.

I bet it's better than any cornbread stuffing I've had (too sweet, over seasoned to cover up the sweetness, bad texture), or any wild rice stuffing (way too dark a flavor for mild turkey, chewy off texture).

I've gone to two thanksgiving dinners where white castle was used to make the stuffing. Really good stuff.

I have to say this sounds revolting on a conceptual level, but if its getting so much love there must be something redeeming here. I may have to drive down to the nearest White Castle and try it...

Remember to order them minus ketchup and pickle!

Those who've only had the frozen microwave burgers may not realize they commonly come with a TON of ketchup, and nasty sour pickles which completely overwhelm the delicate taste of a small soft steamed onion burger.

Sliders don't come with ketchup... what White Castle puts ketchup on their burgers??

Depends on where you live? The White Castles in NYC and Long Island come with Ketchup and well as McD's & BK It's a no Mustard type of town unless you ask for it...

From the bizarro world of upside-down "pizza", and hot dogs topped with chopped tomatoes and pickles, now comes this. What do you call a turkey stuffed with ratburgers? Ratburgkey!
