What is a Big Mac Slider?

A Big Mac Slider is a miniaturized version of the iconic McDonald’s Big Mac burger. 

It’s a flavorful, bite-sized sandwich that contains the same key components: two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a mini sesame seed bun.

The difference is mainly in size; sliders are generally smaller, making them perfect for appetizers, parties, or snack-sized meals, basically the ultimate party food.

This trend took hold on TikTok and went viral from creator @tinaholbrookscott.

4. Top with the cooked hamburger.

5. Add slices of American cheese and top with pickles.
6. Spread the remaining big mac sauce on the underside of the top buns and place them in the pan to complete the slider sandwich.
7. Before baking, spread the golden tops of the Hawaiian buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
8. Bake sliders in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and hot. Add shredded lettuce before serving.

• Cooked Beef mixture.
• Slices of Cheese and Pickles.
• Top of buns also with secret sauce.
• Painted with melted butter and sesame seeds.

Note: All ovens have different temperature settings. If you find the buns are getting too golden brown for your liking, add aluminum foil to the dish to stop the cooking.

Can I Make Sliders Ahead?

Yes, you can prepare Copycat Big Mac Sliders ahead of time.

The beef can be cooked, and the famous sauce can be made a day before and refrigerated.

However, for the best results, cook the patties and assemble the sliders before serving to ensure freshness and avoid the buns getting soggy.

Sliders pair well with a variety of side dish recipes.

Some classic options include ambrosia salad, potato wedges, coleslaw, fried pickles, potato chips, or potato salad.

You could serve them with a pea salad, marinated tomatoes, or carrot fries for a healthier twist.
