Introduction

These Easy Big Mac Sliders capture the iconic flavors of the classic burger in a fun, bite-sized form perfect for parties or casual gatherings. With a homemade Big Mac style sauce and melty cheese, they’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

The image shows twelve square-shaped sliders arranged neatly in a 4 by 3 grid on a silver tray lined with shredded green lettuce visible around the edges of the buns. Each slider has a shiny, golden-brown top bun sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and the buns look soft and slightly glossy. The tray is set on a white marbled surface, and near the top right corner, a small white bowl holding sliced pickles is partially visible. The top buns cover the fillings, so they are not seen, and the lettuce peeks out slightly from underneath the buns, adding a fresh green contrast to the warm bun colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
2 cups shredded lettuce
9 slices American cheese
24–30 dill pickle slices
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

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld while you prepare the rest.
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion, salt, and pepper until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan.
Step 4: Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns in the dish. Spread a thin layer of the Big Mac style sauce over each bun.
Step 5: Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over the sauce-covered buns. Layer the American cheese slices on top of the beef, then add dill pickle slices evenly over the cheese.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and add shredded lettuce over the melted cheese and pickles. Spread more of the Big Mac sauce on top of the lettuce.
Step 8: Place the top buns on each slider. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over them.
Step 9: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tops are lightly toasted.
Step 10: Remove from the oven, slice the sliders apart if needed, and serve warm for a delicious party treat.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture while cooking.
Substitute cheddar cheese or a cheese blend if you prefer a different cheesy twist.
Use Hawaiian rolls for a slightly sweeter bite or classic slider buns for a traditional sandwich texture.
Make the sauce a day ahead to let the flavors deepen and save time on party day.

Storage

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through to keep the buns from getting soggy. For best texture, add fresh lettuce after reheating.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Add the lettuce and bake just before serving to keep everything fresh and crispy.

Can I freeze these sliders?

While freezing is possible, it may affect the texture of the buns and lettuce. If freezing, wrap sliders tightly and reheat thoroughly; add fresh lettuce after reheating for best results.
