Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing complicated here. Just simple ingredients that come together beautifully.

For the Sliders:

• 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
• 9 slices American cheese
• 24–30 dill pickle slices
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

For the Big Mac Style Sauce:

• 2/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

It’s simple pantry magic. Nothing fancy—just smart layering.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Easy Big Mac Sliders

Don’t worry. This slider recipe is as easy as it gets.

1. Make the Sauce

In a mixing bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, sugar, yellow mustard, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Pop it in the fridge while you prep everything else. The flavors get even better as they sit together.

2. Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.

Cook until browned and fully cooked through. Break the meat apart as it cooks so it’s nice and crumbly. Drain any excess grease.

This part smells amazing already.

3. Prep the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Grease a 9×13 baking dish or sheet pan. Place the bottom halves of your slider buns in the dish, keeping them connected if they came that way. It makes assembly easier.

4. Start Layering

Spread a thin layer of that creamy Big Mac-style sauce over the bottom buns.

Then:

• Add the cooked beef mixture evenly across.
• Lay the American cheese slices over the beef.
• Top with dill pickle slices.

At this point, they already look tempting.

5. First Bake

Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Remove from the oven.

6. Add the Fresh Toppings

Now layer on:

• Shredded lettuce
• Another drizzle of sauce

Place the top buns on.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds over them. That little detail gives them that classic burger look.

7. Final Bake

Return to the oven for 3–4 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and slightly crisp.

Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

And watch them disappear.

Tips for the Best Big Mac Sliders

Let’s make your life even easier.

• Short on time? Thousand Island dressing works as a quick sauce substitute.
• Want a lighter option? Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.
• Crispy top lovers? Don’t skip the butter and sesame seeds. That little extra step makes a big difference.
• Leftovers got soft? Pop them into the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes. They crisp right back up.

And about the lettuce—if you like it crisp and fresh, add it after baking. If your family doesn’t mind softer lettuce, you can bake it with the sliders. No rules here. Just preferences.
