- 1/4 cup Big Mac sauce Or a mix of mayo, ketchup, mustard, and sweet relish.
- 1/4 cup diced onions These will soften when cooked with the beef.

- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 lb of ground beef. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula for even cooking.
- Drain excess fat from the skillet, then fold in 1/4 cup diced onions and cook until softened.
Assembly
- Place the bottom halves of the 12 slider buns in a baking dish.
- Spread a little Big Mac sauce on each bottom bun before adding the beef evenly.
- Lay the 4 slices of American cheese over the beef and scatter with pickles and additional sauce.
- Top with the bun crowns and optionally brush with melted butter.
Baking

- Remove the foil for the last 1–2 minutes for a slightly crisped top.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, allow sliders to chill before baking. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. For freezing, assemble but do not bake, then wrap tightly.
