Chopped Big Mac Sliders
These delicious chopped Big Mac sliders are inspired by the McDonald’s favorite made easily right at home.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 package King Hawaiian slider rolls
- 9 slices American cheese
- ½ cup Mac Sauce (recipe linked above) or Thousand Island dressing (divided)
- ¼ head Iceburg lettuce
- ¼ medium red onion
- 3 spears pickles
- 2 tbs melted butter
- 1-2 tbs sesame seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbs garlic 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. 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.
- 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 and add the top half of the buns
- 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 center rack of the oven at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted. Watch them- they will brown very fast because of the butter. This should only take about 5-7 minutes.
- While that’s baking, add the lettuce, pickles and onions onto a cutting board. Chop the vegetables together into small pieces and then mix in the rest of the 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!
