Big Mac Sliders

Ingredients

Special Sauce

3/4 cup mayonnaise  

3 T yellow mustard  

1 T Relish

1 t white vinegar  

1 t garlic powder  

1 t onion powder  

1/4 t smoked paprika   

1/4 t salt  

Burgers

2 lb. ground beef (we used aged ground beef)

1/2 cup plain bread crumbs

1/8 t salt  

1/2 t garlic powder  

9 slices American cheese

1 medium onion, diced finely

1 package shredded iceberg lettuce

12 Dill pickle slices

Sesame Seed Buns

12 slider rolls

2 T melted butter

1 T sesame seeds  

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Whisk all sauce ingredients together, until combined. Set aside.

3. Combine beef, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Dump the meat mixture on a large rimmed baking sheet and press gently to form an even layer (making a meat sheet). Bake 13-15 minutes, until the top of the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess grease, top beef with cheese slices, and bake until cheese has melted, about 1 minute.

4. Without pulling apart the buns, slice rolls into three sheets. Brush the top buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Brush the top of the remaining layers with butter. Place all buns on a baking sheet and broil 30 seconds, or until lightly toasted.

5. Spread special sauce along the bottom buns. Top with shredded lettuce and onion. Add one layer of burger patties. Top with the middle section of buns. Repeat layers, adding pickles before topping with sesame seed buns. Score with a chef’s knife, separating them completely. ENJOY!
