Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 sliders
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slider buns
- Pickles and lettuce for topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and finely chopped onion. Whisk ingredients together until smooth and well blended. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions, about 4 ounces each. Gently shape each portion into thin, oval-shaped patties approximately 1/4 inch thick. Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Season patties lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook patties for 2-3 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes for medium doneness.
- Lightly toast slider buns until golden brown. Spread a generous amount of prepared Big Mac sauce on both the top and bottom buns.
- Assemble sliders by placing a cooked patty on each bottom bun, then top with chopped pickles, shredded lettuce, and the sauce-covered top bun.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your homemade copy cat sliders!
Tips
- Sauce Prep Magic: Make the Big Mac sauce ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify, creating a more complex taste profile.
- Patty Perfection: When forming your beef patties, use a light touch to prevent overworking the meat. The small dimple in the center helps prevent bulging and ensures even cooking.
- Heat Control: Use a cast-iron skillet or griddle for the best sear and flavor development. Medium-high heat is crucial for creating that delicious golden-brown crust.
- Don't Overcook: For juicy sliders, aim for medium doneness. Remember, these small patties cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them.
- Bun Toasting Trick: Lightly butter the buns before toasting for an extra layer of flavor and a perfect golden-brown finish.
- Assembly is Key: Layer your ingredients strategically - sauce on both buns, crisp lettuce, and tangy pickles will elevate your slider from good to absolutely irresistible!
