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 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.

    My family would love these! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I will definitely give these a try sometime soon!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh good! Enjoy

  2. psychofruit

    YUM! Can’t wait to try these!

    Just a hint; Walmart sells something called Secret Sauce. It’s identical to Big Mac sauce. I use it on everything LOL. Would be perfect for these.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh, that would be yummy on these! Enjoy! 🍔 🤗

    • Lisa

      We love the Walmart Secret Sauce too, I just wish the dates on the bottles were longer, generally only good a month or so when we buy them so we end up wasting so many bottles.

      • psychofruit

        When I buy one it doesn’t last long LMAO! I use it for homemade animal fries (In N Out clone) and other things.

  3. alliekat5656

    I made your chicken parm sliders for a Christmas party, and they were a huge hit. I wished I had used a little more sauce (totally my fault), but they were still so good. Best appetizer for a hungry crowd!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      WOW! I love hearing this! So yummy. Thanks for sharing!

  4. Ashlie

    Brilliant 👏 My teens love Big Macs (and of course the special, silly adult happy meals they occasionally have). This will be great for home. My hubs loves the Big Mac salad with dressing I can make to keep within his diet.

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for onlinementing, Ashley! Hoping these are a hit with your teens and the salad is a hit for your husband! ❤️

  7. Justina Inez

    THANKS LINA! Fabulous recipe! Mom and I enjoyed the copycat Big Macs tonight, we used a little less garlic powder and after draining I used a little water and parsley flakes with adding the onions, garlic and onion powders–I gotta get a little beef broth for next time. I topped with sliced tomatoes, and gosh even adding diced tomatoes to the ground beef might be nice for me next time—and that sauce?! OH SO GOOD! THANKS! So glad that you shared this recipe–Thanks!

    • Lina

      Oh I am so happy this worked out! YUMMM! Thanks for sharing Justina.
