Can I make Easy Big Mac Sliders ahead of time?

Yes! You can cook the beef and mix the sauce ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge. Assemble and bake when ready to serve. If fully assembled, they’re best baked fresh for the best texture.

How do I store leftovers?

Place cooled sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the buns from getting soggy.

You can freeze the beef mixture separately. I don’t recommend freezing fully assembled sliders with lettuce, as the texture changes once thawed.

What kind of buns work best?

Hawaiian rolls are slightly sweet and soft, which pairs beautifully with the savory beef. Regular slider buns work perfectly too.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Just use a larger sheet pan or two baking dishes. These go fast, especially at parties.

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish or sheet pan.
Place bottom halves of slider buns in the baking dish. Spread a thin layer of sauce over the buns.
Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over the buns.
Lay American cheese slices evenly over the beef.
Top with dill pickle slices.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven. Add shredded lettuce and drizzle additional sauce if desired.
Place top buns over sliders. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Return to oven and bake for 3–4 minutes, until tops are lightly golden.
Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for beef.

Thousand Island dressing works as a quick sauce alternative.

Add lettuce after baking for a crisp texture.

Reheat leftovers in an air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to crisp the buns.
