    Who remembers the jingle: Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun?

    It was 1974 when a New York advertising agency came out with that catchy marketing ad. and it's been stuck in my head (and probably yours) ever since.

    Well, today I bring to you: Two pounds of cooked and crumbled ground beef, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on some sesame seed slider buns.

    Do you think it will catch on?! LOL.

    Food Service Equipment & Supplies

    How long do big mac sliders take to make from start to finish?

    Approximately 30 minutes.

    Can these ground beef appetizers be made in advance?

    Yes.

    Big Mac Sliders can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (covered) before reheating.

    But, I suggest waiting until right before serving to add the romaine lettuce.

    How to reheat after refrigerating?

    Preheat the oven to 350-degrees.

    Uncover the sliders and heat in the preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until heated through.

    Can the romaine lettuce be left off the sliders?

    It's totally your call.

    The lettuce adds to the authenticity of the Big Mac flavor, but if you're not a fan, then it's not that big of a deal.

    When is the best time to add the romaine lettuce?

    I like to add it to the sliders after they've come out of the oven so it still has some texture and crunch.

    However, if you'd like to add it to the sliders before they go in the oven then that's fine too.

    How to make Big Mac Sliders:

    • Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
    • In a large skillet brown 2 pounds of ground beef over medium-high heat.
    • To the browned ground beef, add the dehydrated onion, salt, pepper, and chopped dill pickles. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, slice the slider buns (package of 12) in half lenghtwise and add the bottom half of the buns to a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
    • Add an even layer of America cheese on top of the bun-bottoms and spoon the ground beef mixture evenly over the bun-bottoms and cheese. Set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, salt and pepper.
    • Spoon the secret sauce evenly over the ground beef mixture and place the top half of the buns in place.
    • Brush melted butter over the buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking.
    • Bake in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
    • Remove the big mac sliders from the oven, and add the shredded romaine to the sliders, if desired.

      The sliders sound really good certainly better than the ones served at the restaurant. My question is once they’re made without the lettuce can I put them in the freezer. I cook for one and it’s very difficult so I like to be able to freeze in a couple days at a time wrapping them real well with foil.

        You can definitely do that, Patty June!
        If you're going to add lettuce, do so after reheating.
        I know you'll enjoy this recipe.
        Take good care,
        Renee
