Ingredients

Scale

For the Sliders

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 12 slider buns
  • 12 slices American cheese
  • 24 dill pickle slices

For the Special Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth, then refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
  2. Form the Beef Patties: Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions and shape each into small patties slightly larger than the slider buns. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns horizontally. Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun, add a cooked beef patty with melted cheese, two pickle slices, and then top with the bun crown.
  5. Bake to Warm: Arrange assembled sliders on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until the buns are slightly toasted and the sliders are warmed through.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the sliders warm. Enjoy your Big Mac Sliders with your favorite side dishes or dipping sauces.

Notes

  • You can customize the special sauce by adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • Use fresh slider buns for the best texture and taste.
  • Ensure patties are not compressed too tightly to keep them juicy.
  • For a healthier version, use lean ground beef or turkey.
  • These sliders can be pre-assembled and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
