You wouldn't guess it based on the posts today, but the Slashfood team really isn't totally biased in favor of the Colts in today's Super Bowl. It just happens that Joanne showed a good offense all week supporting the Bears, and Indianapolis took some time to find its foodish ground and is coming on strong in the end.
Now White Castle burgers are not really from Indianapolis. In fact, the first store was built in Wichita, Kansas, and today, the headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio. However, that doesn't seem to keep Indy-ites (Indy-ans?) from mentioning White Castle Slyders when thinking of food from home. Unfortunately for us Indy fans in California, there are no White Castle restaurants anywhere in the state. I resorted to buying the frozen burgers from the grocery store, and while I have to say that wrapping two little burgers in a paper towel and microwaving them made me frown, and the dry taste of the bun and the sad little flap of meat inside was a little disappointing, I still felt supportive.
Go Indianapolis!

To keep them from getting soggy open them up right after cooking. to let excess steam escape. They aren't as good as going to White Castle but those of us on the West Coast just have to make do.
I've been meaning to try this recipe for making them at home:

When I finally get around to trying them, I think I'll omit the "secret ingredient" also, or just put little of the ground beef in the food proccesor to chop it finer as a "binder".
