Step-by-Step Instructions: Making Your Big Mac Sliders

Follow these simple steps for perfect Big Mac Sliders every time!

Prepare the Big Mac Sauce

1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and white vinegar.
2. Whisk well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.
3. Cover and refrigerate the sauce while you prepare the sliders to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Slider Base

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
3. Season the cooked beef with salt and pepper, then stir in the finely chopped onion for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
5. Spread a thin layer of your prepared Big Mac sauce generously over the bottom rolls.
6. Top with the cooked ground beef and onion mixture, spreading evenly.
7. Layer the quartered American cheese slices over the beef.
8. Arrange the dill pickle slices over the cheese.
9. Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back over the pickles.

Bake to Golden Perfection

1. In a small bowl, melt the butter and brush it evenly over the top of the slider buns.
2. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the buttered tops.
3. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Big Mac Sliders

For an even richer flavor, consider using a good quality grass-fed ground beef. Don’t be afraid to season your beef generously!

If you prefer a less sweet bun, regular dinner rolls can be used, but the Hawaiian rolls truly mimic the traditional slider feel. You can even toast the buns lightly before assembling for extra texture. For more cooking inspiration, check out Food Network’s recipes.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

These hamburger sliders are amazing on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with classic sides. Serve them alongside crispy French fries or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.

A fresh side salad or coleslaw can also cut through the richness beautifully. Don’t forget extra Big Mac sauce for dipping!

Consider serving these with onion rings or a simple corn on the cob. For other great ideas, Read our in-depth guide here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Big Mac Sliders

Can I make the Big Mac sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! Preparing the sauce a day or two in advance allows the flavors to deepen, making it even more delicious. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

What if I don’t have Hawaiian rolls?

While Hawaiian rolls are recommended for their sweetness and softness, you can certainly use other slider buns or even small dinner rolls. Just ensure they are still connected for easier assembly.

Can I add other toppings to my Big Mac Sliders?

Of course! Feel free to customize your sliders. Some popular additions include shredded lettuce (add it after baking), crispy bacon bits, or even a different type of cheese like cheddar or provolone.
