Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the ingredients for these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers is as straightforward as it gets. You won’t find any complicated items here—just simple, familiar flavors that come together beautifully.

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 8 slider buns
  • 8 slices of American cheese
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 16 pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

If you’re out of slider buns, regular hamburger buns split in half work in a pinch. For a lighter option, try ground turkey instead of beef. The sauce is what ties everything together, reminiscent of those fast-food flavors we all know, but with a homemade touch that makes it even better.

Instructions

Creating these flavorful sliders is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal ready in no time.

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 8 small patties, slightly larger than the slider buns to account for shrinkage.
  3. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  4. While the patties cook, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, vinegar, sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl to create the sauce.
  5. Toast the slider buns lightly for a nice crunch.
  6. Assemble the sliders by spreading a spoonful of sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cheese-topped patty, a layer of shredded lettuce, two pickle slices, and a sprinkle of diced onions. Top with the other half of the bun.

And there you have it—a meal that’s ready to delight. My kids love jumping in to help assemble, making it a fun family activity that ends with everyone enjoying their creation.
