Each slider has three visible layers: the top is a golden brown soft bun sprinkled with white sesame seeds, the middle contains a mix of cooked ground beef and shredded green lettuce, and the bottom is a slightly toasted bun with a light orange spread underneath, possibly cheese or sauce. The slider in the front left corner is slightly pulled away, showing more of the filling. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls or brioche rolls)
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 1/4 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 5 oz iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles, sliced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
  2. Step 2: Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat, return beef to skillet, season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the sauce by mixing together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, white vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Slice the slider rolls in half. Place the bottoms in a casserole dish, top each with a slice of cheese, then spread the cooked beef evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle diced onions on top. Cover with the roll tops.
  5. Step 5: Brush melted butter over the tops and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (Tip: Make sure the cheese is under the meat to prevent sticking. If the cheese ends up on top, toast the tops separately.)
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the sliders are heated through and the tops are golden.
  7. Step 7: Remove tops from sliders. Add shredded lettuce, Big Mac sauce, and sliced pickles on the bottom halves. Replace the tops and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef while cooking.
  • Use brioche rolls for a richer, slightly sweet bread option.
  • Swap American cheese for cheddar or pepper jack for a twist on the classic taste.
  • If you prefer spicier sliders, add a little hot sauce to the Big Mac sauce mixture.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350˚F for about 10 minutes to keep the bread from getting soggy. Add fresh lettuce and pickles after reheating for best texture.

How to Serve

Each slider has three visible layers: the top is a golden-brown soft bun with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, the middle layer consists of shredded green lettuce mixed with a creamy sauce and cooked ground beef with a slightly crumbly texture, and the bottom layer is a light, fluffy yellow bun base. The sliders are tightly packed together, with some lettuce and sauce spilling over the sides. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the sliders ahead of time?

Big Mac Sliders Recipe


  • Author: Ethan
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders 1x

Description

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sliders

  • 1 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls or brioche rolls)
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 1/4 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 5 oz iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles, sliced

For the Big Mac Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350˚F to prepare for baking the sliders later.
  2. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm in the skillet.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, white vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined to create the Big Mac sauce.
  4. Assemble the sliders: Carefully slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves in a casserole dish. Layer each bottom with a slice of American cheese, then spread the cooked ground beef evenly on top, and sprinkle with finely diced onion.
  5. Top and prep for baking: Place the slider tops on the assembled bottoms. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over them. (Tip: Ensure the cheese is under the beef to prevent sticking. If the cheese is on top, bake tops separately.)
  6. Bake: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until heated through and golden on top.
  7. Finish and serve: Remove the tops from the sliders. Add shredded lettuce, a generous spoonful of Big Mac sauce, and sliced pickles to each slider. Replace the tops and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure to place the cheese under the ground beef to prevent the slider tops from sticking during baking.
  • If the cheese is placed on top of the meat, bake the tops separately to avoid sticking.
  • Use Hawaiian or brioche slider rolls for soft, slightly sweet buns that complement the flavors perfectly.
  • This recipe serves about 12 sliders, perfect for parties or family gatherings.
  • To keep sliders warm before serving, cover loosely with foil after baking.
