Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers – bite-sized versions of the iconic Big Mac, featuring juicy beef patties, melted American cheese, and tangy Big Mac-style sauce on soft slider buns.
Ingredients
- Ground beef (80/20): 1 lb
- Onion powder: 1 tsp
- Garlic powder: ½ tsp
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Slider buns or mini burger rolls: 12
- American cheese slices, halved: 6
- Shredded lettuce: ½ cup
- Finely diced onions: ¼ cup
- Dill pickle slices: 12
- Mayonnaise: ½ cup
- French dressing or Thousand Island dressing: 2 tbsp
- Sweet pickle relish: 1 tbsp
- White vinegar: 1 tsp
- Sugar: ½ tsp
- Onion powder: ½ tsp
- Paprika: ¼ tsp
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Shape into 12 small patties (about 2 inches wide).
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- During the last minute of cooking, place half a cheese slice on each patty and cover briefly to melt.
- Mix all Big Mac Sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Lightly toast slider buns. Spread Big Mac Sauce on both sides of each bun.
- Assemble sliders: bottom bun, lettuce, onions, pickle, cheeseburger patty, a little more sauce, then the top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Make ahead: Sauce can be prepared a day in advance; refrigerate until ready to use.
- To keep patties extra juicy, avoid pressing; cook until just done.
- Feel free to swap American cheese for cheddar or pepper jack if desired.
