Mini Mac Magic: Big Mac Sliders

Homemade Big Mac Sliders

Yields: 12 sliders

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (15-ounce) package slider buns
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Lettuce, shredded
• Dill pickle slices
• Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• For the Big Mac Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow onion, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, onion, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Set aside in the refrigerator.
2. Cook the Beef: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
3. Assemble the Sliders: Place the slider buns on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of Big Mac sauce on the bottom buns. Top each bun with a beef patty, a slice of cheese, lettuce, pickles, and onions. Spread more sauce on the top buns, then place them on the sandwiches.
4. Bake or Broil: Bake the sliders in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the buns are toasted and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, broil the sliders for a few minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Tips

• For extra juicy sliders, don’t overcook the ground beef.
• If you don’t have slider buns, you can use regular hamburger buns and cut them into thirds.
• To make the sliders ahead of time, cook the ground beef and assemble the sliders. Cover them tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake or broil as directed before serving.

Suggested Pairings

• French fries or onion rings are classic sides for burgers and sliders.
• Potato salad or coleslaw would also be delicious accompaniments.
• For a lighter option, serve the sliders with a side salad.
