Sliders — the famous mini hamburgers popular at bars, diners, and casual restaurants — are thought to have been invented in 1921 at the first White Castle in Wichita, Kansas. Billy Ingram started the family business with $700, selling sliders for just five cents each. It was White Castle, not McDonald’s, that popularized America’s fast food hamburger.

When you visit a White Castle, there are 15 slider options, including some for breakfast. Order a side of Onion Rings or Spicy Chicken Rings for an unmistakable, nostalgic flavor. Despite hundreds of locations, more than 30 states don’t have a White Castle. To make the authentic American fast food experience accessible to everyone, White Castle became the first restaurant to offer its sliders in the frozen food aisle in 1987.  The restaurant’s frozen items can be found in major grocery stores, including Walmart, Safeway, Target and online through Amazon.

Try the Original Slider with beef and grilled onions, or indulge in five other options, including Double Cheese, Classic Cheese, Jalapeño Cheese, Chicken and Cheese, and Chicken Breast. A quick zap in the microwave on high for less than a minute is all it takes for a hot and satisfying snack. Make it a full meal by adding Original Chicken or Spicy Chicken Rings. Prepare the frozen rings in a conventional oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 minutes, or microwave on high for two minutes for a dinner in a pinch.
