This menu addition was built using direct insights from consumer research conducted last summer. To give fans exactly what they wanted, White Castle collaborated with trusted plant-based brand Dr. Praeger’s to build a unique, flavorful profile.

The slider features:

  • The Base: A flavorful Dr. Praeger’s veggie patty.
  • The Crust: A crispy brown rice crust for the perfect crunch.
  • Six-Vegetable Blend: Sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, red bell peppers, onions, and carrots.
  • The Seasoning: A smoky chipotle and sweet BBQ flavor profile.
  • The Toppings: Served on a classic slider bun with a slice of jalapeño cheese (customers can also substitute American or cheddar cheese).

Driven by Customer Feedback

According to the White Castle leadership team, this update is a direct response to customer demands for more diverse, high-quality menu offerings.

“Our Cravers have been pretty vocal about wanting an alternative to traditional meat Sliders that doesn’t compromise on flavor,” said Jamie Richardson, chief marketing officer. “That prompted our menu innovation team to prioritize finding a craveable alternative, and we believe the Southwest Veggie Slider delivers on that in a big way.”
