Mini Mac Sliders

In these fun-size Mini Mac Sliders, an all beef ground patty is topped with a homemade “special sauce”, pickles and lettuce!

I know I told you guys that I gave up fast food – it has been almost 7 months!! If you’ve seen Food Inc. you would too! However that doesn’t mean I deprive myself, instead of falling off the wagon and finding myself in the drive-through line, I think of a way I can make it at home.

Lately, I have been in the mood for a McDonald’s Big Mac. I haven’t been able to get them out of my head ever since I saw my husband eating one right in front of my face. Luckily I was not feeling well, or else I would have thrown him an elbow and snatched it out of his hand before he knew what hit him!

So here is my version of a not-as-big Big Mac but in slider form. Haileigh named it herself, the Mini Mac Slider.

To Make These Mini Mac Sliders You Will Need:

• mayonnaise
• french dressing
• sweet pickle relish
• finely minced white onion
• white vinegar
• sugar
• kosher salt
• ground beef
• green onions
• olive oil
• black pepper
• kosher salt
• iceberg lettuce
• sliced pickles
• colby jack cheese
• slider buns

In a mixing bowl, measure and add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons French dressing, 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1-1/2 tablespoons finely minced white onion, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt.

Then in a separate large mixing bowl add 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef, 2-3 green onions sliced thin then roughly chopped, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Mix the ingredients by hand until combined, don’t over mix.

Form 12 small patties…

Add a few patties at a time to a grill pan preheated to medium/ medium high heat… adjust the heat during cooking.

Cook the patties 3-5 minutes per side.

Flip and repeat. You can then place done burgers on a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm.

Gather all the typical toppings; buns, cheese, lettuce, pickles and sauce.

Start with the Colby jack. 3 slices to be exact. Cut in half on a diagonal.

Cut in half again to form 12 triangles!!

You can also toast your buns, I like mine toasted and so does my girls! I place the slider buns on a baking sheet under my broiler for about 2 minutes.

Schmear some of the special sauce on the inside of the top bun…

Top the bottom toasty bun with a burger patty and a slice of Colby.

Then top with pickle slices and sliced iceberg lettuce.

And they look like this… a little messy… yet tasty!

Let me just tell you, my youngest won’t touch pickles or onions and she had no idea they were there!! She gobbled them up!
