Ingredients
Scale
Slider Buns
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Slider Mixture
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
Big Mac Style Sauce
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 24–30 dill pickle slices
- 9 slices American cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Big Mac Style Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, sugar, yellow mustard, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, finely chopped white onion, salt, and black pepper together until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Sliders – Bottom Layer: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns evenly in the greased baking dish. Spread a thin, even layer of the prepared Big Mac-style sauce on each bun bottom.
- Add Beef, Cheese, and Pickles: Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over the bottom buns with sauce. Lay the slices of American cheese evenly across the beef layer. Top with dill pickle slices spread evenly.
- Bake Sliders with Cheese: Place the sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add Lettuce and More Sauce: Remove the sliders from the oven. Sprinkle shredded lettuce evenly over the melted cheese and add additional Big Mac-style sauce on top of the lettuce for extra flavor.
- Prepare Top Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns on the sliders. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds to mimic the classic Big Mac bun.
- Final Bake: Return the sliders to the oven and bake for an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the tops of the buns are lightly toasted and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, slice them apart, and serve warm for an irresistible party treat.
Notes
- You can substitute Hawaiian rolls for slider buns if preferred for a hint of sweetness.
- For a juicier beef mixture, add a splash of beef broth while cooking.
- If you like a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the Big Mac-style sauce.
- These sliders can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like tomato slices or cheese varieties to customize your sliders.
