Description
These Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers are a bite-sized version of the classic fast food favorite, stacked with juicy beef patties, tangy pickles, shredded lettuce, American cheese, and a copycat Big Mac sauce layered between three soft bun slices.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 8 slider buns or dinner rolls
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 16 dill pickle slices
- 2 tbsp minced onion (rehydrated if using dried)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For Big Mac sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into 16 small portions and shape into thin patties slightly larger than slider buns.
- Season patties with salt and pepper and cook on a skillet or griddle for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Slice slider buns into three layers: top, middle, and bottom.
- Toast bun slices in a dry skillet or oven until lightly crisped.
- In a bowl, combine all Big Mac sauce ingredients and mix well.
- Spread sauce on bottom bun layer, add minced onions, shredded lettuce, a patty, and a cheese slice.
- Top with the middle bun layer, spread more sauce, add onions, lettuce, pickles, and another patty.
- Place the top bun layer, secure with a toothpick, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make patties slightly larger than buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
- Remove lettuce and pickles before reheating to maintain crispness.
- Prep patties and sauce ahead of time for faster assembly.
- Vegetarian versions can use plant-based meat and cheese alternatives.
