Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup white onion, finely diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Slider Assembly
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (kept connected)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- Fresh lettuce, shredded
Big Mac Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until it starts to brown, then add the finely diced onion and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste and then remove from heat.
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping them connected. Brush the cut sides with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Toast the Rolls: Place the cut sides up on a baking dish and broil on low for 3–5 minutes until golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Mix the Big Mac Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, grated onion, mustard, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Assemble the Sliders: Spread the Big Mac sauce evenly over both the bottom and top halves of the toasted rolls. Layer 4 slices of cheddar cheese over the bottom half, then spoon the cooked beef mixture evenly on top of the cheese.
- Add More Cheese and Lettuce: Place the remaining 4 slices of cheddar cheese over the beef and sprinkle shredded lettuce on top. Cover with the top halves of the rolls and brush the tops with olive oil.
- Bake the Sliders: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the sliders for 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
- Serve: Slice along the seams to separate the sliders and serve them warm. Enjoy your Big Mac-inspired sliders fresh out of the oven.
Notes
- Watch the rolls carefully when broiling to prevent burning as broilers can vary in intensity.
- Keep the Hawaiian rolls connected during assembly for easier handling and slicing later.
- Feel free to add extra pickles or cheese slices according to taste preferences.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead by cooking the beef mixture and sauce, then assembling just before baking.
- For a crispier top, brush the rolls with olive oil in addition to the butter before broiling.
