Ingredients
Sliders
- 12 Slider buns
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 7 slices American Cheese
- 24 slices Pickle
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mustard, to taste
- 2 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
Secret Sauce
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoon Dill pickle relish
- 2 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Cook Onions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced onions and cook for 3 minutes until they soften.
- Cook Beef: Add ground beef and salt to the skillet. Cook until the beef is fully cooked and onions become translucent, breaking the meat up as it cooks.
- Drain Grease: Remove excess grease from the cooked beef mixture to prevent sogginess and keep sliders flavorful.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns in half, separating bottoms and tops, and set the tops aside.
- Assemble Base Layer: Arrange the bottom buns on a baking sheet to build the sliders.
- Add Beef Mixture: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly over each bottom bun.
- Add Cheese Layer: Place the American cheese slices over the beef mixture, layering 7 slices across the tops.
- Add Pickles: Lay the pickle slices evenly over the cheese on each slider.
- Add Condiments: Drizzle ketchup, mustard, and the prepared secret sauce generously over pickles.
- Top Buns: Place the slider bun tops over the fillings, closing each slider.
- Bake Covered: Cover the assembled sliders with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes to meld flavors.
- Butter and Sesame: Remove foil, brush melted butter on top buns, and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over buns.
- Final Bake: Return sliders to oven uncovered and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is thoroughly melted and buns are golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, enjoying your homemade Big Mac sliders.
Notes
- Use freshly chopped onions for the best flavor and texture in the beef mixture.
- You can prepare the secret sauce in advance and store it refrigerated for up to a week.
- Make sure to drain the grease thoroughly to prevent soggy buns.
- If you prefer, substitute American cheese with your preferred melting cheese.
- Adjust the amount of ketchup, mustard, and secret sauce according to taste preferences.
- Sliders can be kept warm in the oven on low heat (around 200°F) if serving later.
