Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Meat:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 6 slider buns
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp white onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Cheese and Toppings:
- 6 slices American cheese
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 6 dill pickle slices
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds (for bun topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet or griddle to medium-high heat, ensuring a consistent cooking surface for the slider patties.
- Gently form the ground beef into 6 thin, uniform patties, creating a slight depression in the center to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Season each patty generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Mix mayonnaise, yellow mustard, finely diced white onion, sweet pickle relish, and white vinegar in a small bowl to create the signature Big Mac sauce.
- Place the patties on the hot cooking surface and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, aiming for a perfect medium doneness with a slight char.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of American cheese and allow it to melt completely.
- Lightly toast the slider buns, sprinkling sesame seeds on the top halves for added texture and authenticity.
- Spread a generous layer of the prepared sauce on both the top and bottom bun halves.
- Layer a fresh lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cheese-topped beef patty.
- Add a dill pickle slice on top of the patty and carefully close the slider with the sesame-seed topped bun.
- Serve immediately while the patties are hot and the cheese is melted, ensuring maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize patty thickness to personal preference, ensuring even cooking and maintaining juicy interior.
- Experiment with beef blend ratios like 80/20 for optimal fat content, enhancing slider’s rich flavor and preventing dryness.
- Use freshly ground beef for superior taste and texture, avoiding pre-packaged ground meat with potential moisture loss.
- Toast buns lightly to prevent sogginess while creating a crisp base that holds sauce and toppings effectively.
