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: Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper until the beef is 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 prepared dish. Spread a thin layer of the Big Mac style sauce over each bun bottom.
Step 5: Evenly layer the cooked beef mixture over the sauce-covered buns. Place the American cheese slices across the beef, then top with dill pickle slices.
Step 6: Bake the sliders in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 7: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded lettuce over the sliders. Add more sauce on top if desired.
Step 8: Place the top halves of the buns on the sliders. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
Step 9: Return the sliders to the oven and bake for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the tops are lightly toasted and golden.
Step 10: Slice the sliders apart and serve warm for the best taste.

Tips & Variations

For extra juiciness, mix a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef before cooking.
Try swapping American cheese for cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor twist.
Use Hawaiian rolls for a slightly sweeter slider that complements the tangy sauce beautifully.
Make the sauce ahead of time to allow flavors to deepen and save prep time on party day.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them covered in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving to keep the buns from getting soggy.

How to Serve

Below the lettuce is a slice of melted yellow cheddar cheese that drapes over a thick, juicy brown beef patty with a crumbly texture. The bottom bun is light golden and slightly fluffy, with a creamy orange sauce spread on it. The background shows a white marbled surface blurred out. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours ahead and refrigerate them before baking. Just add the lettuce and top buns after baking to keep everything fresh and crisp.

Can I freeze Big Mac sliders?

While you can freeze the beef mixture and sauce separately, assembling and freezing the complete sliders may affect texture. For best results, freeze the components and assemble just before baking and serving.
