Big Mac Sliders

Jun 11, 2023 by JCP

Hey, y'all! There are few things that I love more than a good slider. I was thinking about having a Big Mac the other day and thought to myself: I can make this at home! As such, my Big Mac Sliders were born!

One of the keys to good Big Mac Sliders is to have Homemade Big Mac Sauce. You can get my recipe here.

Big Mac Sliders

Ingredients: Big Mac Sliders

For the sliders:

  • 2 lb. ground beef
  • 1 package King's Hawaiian Slider Buns (I buy the savory butter rolls)
  • 6-8 slices American cheese
  • Sliced Dill Pickles, for topping
  • chopped onions, for topping
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • sesame seeds, for topping
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder

For the Homemade Big Mac Sauce

  • 1 c. Duke's Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp. yellow mustard

How to Make Big Mac Sliders

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Mix until well-combined; I like to use my hands.
  3. In a 11x13" pan, press your ground beef into a flat, even layer. It should cover the entire pan. While this looks large, do note that the beef will shrink in the oven.
  4. Bake for roughly 25 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 165F.
  5. While the beef is baking, make the homemade Big Mac sauce. Simply add all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until fully combined. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
  6. Remove ground beef from oven and remove it from the pan. Blot excess grease.
  7. Slice King's Hawaiian slider rolls in half. Keep the rolls in one piece for layering/baking. Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of the buns. Place ground beef on top of the sauce (note: you might have to trim it to fit the bun perfectly). Fully cover the beef with sliced American cheese. Top with pickles and chopped onion. Add sauce to the bottom of the top buns and add tops to the sliders.
  8. In the microwave, melt butter. Add sesame seeds and stir. Top sliders with buttery sesame seeds and place the sliders back in the oven for roughly 5 minutes.

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

  1. Be sure to blot the grease off of the beef before layering onto the slider buns; failure to do so will make the buns soggy.
  2. Using a food processor to make the sauce helps all of the ingredients to blend evenly; if you don't have a food processor, you could use a blender. Without either of those, you could simply stir the ingredients in a bowl. You will simply have some texture to the sauce from the sweet pickle relish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the beef shrink in the oven?

As the beef cooks, grease/fat content will cook out; when that occurs, the beef will shrink!

Where's the lettuce?

I don't add lettuce to my Big Mac Sliders because I put them back in the oven after layering; that said, you can add lettuce to your liking!
