Ingredients
for the sliders:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced, reserved
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 mini rolls (Such as Hawaiian rolls)

for the Big Mac sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
Directions
1
Heat a skillet on the stove to medium heat. Crumble and brown the ground beef alongside the onions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of chopped onion for the sauce. Drain the fat. Season your meat with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2
Mix the ingredients for the copycat Big Mac sauce together using a bowl or jar.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the rolls in half lengthwise while keeping them connected. Place the bottom portions on a sheet pan.
4
Spread the sauce on the bottom of the rolls. Add the ground beef mixture to the rolls and spread evenly. Add the pickles, followed by the cheese slices. Put the top of the rolls back on. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
5
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Add shredded lettuce if desired before serving if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for making homemade copycat Big Mac Sliders:
- The copycat Big Mac sauce is my favorite part! Consider doubling it to have extra for dipping. Yum!
- I forgot to buy a jar of mayonnaise at the store and made some super quick using an immersion blender and jar. Homemade mayo is so EASY to whip up and tastes great. Check out this mayo recipe from Hip2Keto.online.
- I bought shredded lettuce to add before serving and then totally forgot to add it! LOL, I think that would have added some nice crunch.
- If you happen to NOT be a fan of the Big Mac, I would just use the type of cheese and burger topping you enjoy. This would be easy to customize to taste! I think adding chopped bell peppers and provolone cheese would be another yummy version.
