Ingredients for Big Mac Sliders
You’ll need two main components: the burgers and the Big Mac special sauce. The burger requires lean ground beef, finely chopped onions, American cheese slices, round dill pickle slices, shredded Romaine lettuce, Kings Hawaiian rolls (savoury or sweet), and optionally, butter & sesame seeds for that authentic touch.
For the Big Mac sauce, gather Thousand Island dressing, white vinegar, and onion powder. This combination authentically replicates the famous Big Mac sauce.
How to Make Your Sliders
Create the Sauce: Mix Thousand Island dressing, white vinegar, and onion powder.
Prepare the Beef: Lay chopped onions in a baking dish, add ground beef, and season. Bake until cooked.
Assemble the Sliders: After baking, top the beef with cheese, sauce, and pickles. Cut into squares.
Final Touches: Warm the rolls, sprinkle sesame seeds, and assemble the sliders with lettuce.
Tips and FAQs
Best Ground Beef: Opt for leaner varieties like 85/15 or 90/10 for less grease and shrinkage.
Making in Bulk: Double the recipe, use larger pans, or bake multiple batches for a larger crowd.
Freshness is Key: These sliders are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can bake the beef ahead and assemble it later.
Sauce Variations: Feel free to use plain Thousand Island dressing if preferred.

- For the Special Big Mac Sauce:
1/2 cup 1/2 Thousand Island dressing
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 onion powder
- For the Sliders:
1.5 pounds 1.5 ground beef
1/4 cup 1/4 finely chopped onion
6 slices 6 American cheese
24 24 round dill pickle slices
Approximately 1 cup shredded Romaine lettuce
1 pack 1 (12 count) Kings Hawaiian savory rolls
1 tablespoon 1 melted butter
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Thousand Island dressing, white vinegar, and onion powder. Stir well and set aside.
- Prepare the Sliders:
- Preheat your oven to 400℉ (205℃).
- Take a 9×13-inch baking dish and evenly sprinkle the chopped onion at the bottom.
- Lay the ground beef over the onions, pressing it down firmly with your hands to form an even layer covering the pan’s bottom. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the beef for 15-18 minutes until fully cooked.
- Prepare the Rolls:
- While the beef is baking, slice the rolls horizontally using a serrated knife.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
- Place the roll tops and bottoms separately on a baking sheet coated with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Assemble the Sliders:
- Once the beef is done, drain off any excess grease.
- Place cheese slices over the cooked beef, covering it completely.
- Spoon 12 evenly spaced dollops of the Big Mac sauce over the cheese, forming a 3×4 grid.
- Add two pickle slices on top of each sauce dollop.
- With a pizza cutter, slice the beef into 12 equal squares.
- Final Steps:
- Briefly bake the rolls in the oven for 3-4 minutes to warm them up.
- Place a beef square on each roll bottom, add some shredded lettuce, and cap with the roll top.
Notes
- Combining onion powder and vinegar with Thousand Island dressing for the sauce reduces its sweetness, making it taste more like authentic Big Mac sauce. However, plain Thousand Island dressing is a perfectly fine substitute.
- For optimal results, use lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10). This ensures less shrinkage and a perfect fit for the rolls.
- Kings Hawaiian Savory Rolls are recommended, but their Sweet Rolls variant can also be used as an alternative.
