Big Mac Sliders
These small, stackable Big Mac Sliders pack the classic savory-sweet flavor of a Big Mac into a weeknight-friendly bite. Juicy seasoned beef, melty cheese, crisp lettuce, and tangy pickles layered on soft slider buns make them perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 pound ground beef 85% lean is recommended for best flavor and fat content.
- 1 package slider buns Any small soft buns work well.
For the Toppings
- 1 cup shredded lettuce Iceberg or romaine both work.
- 1 cup diced pickles Dill pickles for classic tang; bread-and-butter will add sweetness.
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American) American melts the easiest.
- to taste salt and pepper Add to taste; be cautious if your pickles are salty.
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise For a lighter sauce, replace half with Greek yogurt.
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns in half and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup. Stir until smooth.
Layering and Baking
- Spread cooked beef evenly over the bun bottoms, then layer shredded cheese, lettuce, and pickles on top. Drizzle the sauce over each slider.
- Place the top buns over the sliders, cover the dish with foil, and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Serving
- Remove from the oven, slice as needed, and serve warm.
Notes
Serve with fries, extra sauce for dipping, or a side coleslaw. Sliders are best eaten soon after baking for the warm, melted cheese texture.
