These chopped Big Mac sliders are such a crowd pleaser.

I’ve made these so many times for family and friends and everyone absolutely loves them.
These chopped sliders are inspired by McDonald Big Macs. A huge fan favorite of the fast food chain.

Pretty much everyone loves a Big Mac, myself included. So this recipe is a no brainer for me when I need to serve a crowd.
Between the soft Hawaiian rolls, seasoned beef and incredibly delicious homemade Big Mac sauce, this truly is an irresistible meal.

They are so fast and easy to put together, too.
I hope you give this recipe a try, I know that if you do you’ll love it just as much as my family and friends do.

Is there a substitute for the Mac Sauce?
Well, these are chopped Big Mac sliders so if you can make the Mac sauce, I’d recommend you do.
HERE is the link for my Mac Sauce Recipe if you’d like it. Please note that in the video I used chopped pickles because I ran out of relish. If it looks a little chunkier thats why.

If you can’t or don’t want to make the sauce for whatever reason, you don’t have to.
Thousand Island dressing will work as a great substitute.
What should I serve these chopped Big Mac sliders with?
These sliders go great with so many different side dishes. Feel free to serve them with anything you’d like.

If you need some ideas, here are some recipes that I think would be perfect.
Do I have to use Kings Hawaiian Rolls?
I love using Kings Hawaiian Rolls for this chopped Big Mac sliders recipe.
If you can’t find those specific rolls or would just like to use something else, you absolutely can.

Any sliders, rolls or hamburger buns would work here just fine.
Chopped Big Mac sliders ingredients

- Kings Hawaiian rolls
- Ground beef
- American cheese
- Lettuce
- Pickles
- Red onion chopped
- Mac Sauce or Thousand Island Dressing
- Melted butter
- Sesame seeds
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
Instructions
First, in a large skillet, brown the ground beef while breaking it into small pieces and drain the fat and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Next slice the Hawaiian rolls down the middle horizontally separating the bottom and top buns.

Then place the bottom buns on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (OR you can bake them right in the tray that they come in. Yes, they’re oven safe!) and spread a thin layer of Mac sauce on to them- about half.

Now, evenly spread the seasoned ground beef onto the bottom buns.

After that, place a layer of American cheese slices down on top of the beef.

Next, place the top of the buns on top of the ground beef.

Then, using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter on top of the buns and sprinkle them with the sesame seeds.

Now bake them in the oven until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted. Watch them- they will brown very fast because of the butter.

While that’s baking, add the lettuce, pickles and onions onto a cutting board. Chop the vegetables together into small pieces.

Then mix in some more Mac Sauce.

When the sliders are done, remove the top buns and add the lettuce and Mac sauce mix.

Finally place the tops back onto the sliders and enjoy!

Isn't the cheese stuck to the top buns when you try to take them off?
