Slider Ingredients
- 9 slider buns (connected is best)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup dill pickle slices
- ½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Special Sauce
- ½ cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Make the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup mayo, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground beef, seasoning it with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Cook until browned, breaking into small crumbles and ensuring it is fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Slice the Buns: Carefully slice the 9 connected slider buns in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in a 9×13 baking dish.
- Layer Beef and Cheese: Evenly spread the cooked ground beef over the bottom buns. Top with 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese spread evenly across the meat.
- Add Pickles, Onions, Lettuce: Layer ½ cup dill pickle slices, ¼ cup diced onion, and ½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce on top of the cheese.
- Drizzle Sauce: Evenly drizzle the prepared special sauce over the layered ingredients.
- Top and Butter: Place the top half of the buns back on. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over the buttered surface.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled sliders in the 9×13 baking dish for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- Keeping the slider buns connected when assembling makes the process faster and less messy.
- Sharp cheddar cheese gives a richer flavor; swap with American cheese for a classic taste.
- Warming the special sauce slightly helps it spread more easily.
- Brushing the buns with butter and sprinkling sesame seeds recreates the classic Big Mac bun texture and flavor.
- Drain excess grease from beef to avoid soggy sliders.
- Do not overuse sauce to prevent soggy buns.
- Leftovers keep well wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat best in oven or air fryer.
