How to Make Big Mac–Style Cheeseburger Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • ⅓ cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1 small onion)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 3 teaspoons dill pickle relish
  • 10 slices (8 ounces) cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces Monterey jack cheese (shredded)
  • 2 (12 count) packages Hawaiian rolls or slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 pounds of lean ground beef and ⅓ cup of finely diced yellow onion. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces until the beef is no longer pink.
  2. Remove from heat. If needed, drain the cooked beef, then stir in the 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, ⅓ cup of mayonnaise, ⅓ cup of ketchup, and 3 teaspoons of dill pickle relish.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet or large baking dish with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil.
  4. Slice your 2 (12 count) packages of Hawaiian rolls or slider buns in half horizontally, if they are not pre-sliced. Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Place the 10 slices of cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom buns. Spoon the ground meat mixture evenly over the cheese.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey jack cheese on top and place the top half of the buns on the sliders.
  7. Melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and brush it over the tops of the rolls. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and the sliders are warmed through. Slice into individual sliders and serve.

How to Serve Big Mac–Style Cheeseburger Sliders

Serve these cheesy sliders hot, right out of the oven. They go great with a side of fries, salad, or even veggie sticks. You can also offer extra condiments like mustard or more ketchup for those who want to customize their sliders.

How to Store Big Mac–Style Cheeseburger Sliders

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 2 to 3 days. You can also wrap them tightly in plastic wrap for easy storage. To reheat, simply place them in the oven on low heat until warmed through.

Tips to Make Big Mac–Style Cheeseburger Sliders

  • For added flavor, try mixing in some spices like paprika or chili powder to the beef mixture.
