Baking Tips

Make the special sauce a day ahead to allow flavors to develop fully

For the most authentic flavor, use American cheese slices rather than other varieties

Keep the meat cold until just before cooking for the best texture

Using a kitchen scale helps ensure uniform-sized patties that cook evenly

A burger press or the bottom of a glass can help form consistent mini patties quickly

For easier slicing of the mini buns, freeze them for 10 minutes first

Cook patties in batches to ensure proper browning rather than steaming them

Shred the lettuce very finely for the authentic Big Mac texture and ease of eating

Set up an assembly line with all ingredients to make the process more efficient

Warm the assembled sliders in the oven for 3-5 minutes if they cool down during assembly

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Burger Patties:

2 pounds (900g) ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)

2 teaspoons (12g) salt

1 teaspoon (5g) black pepper

1 tablespoon (15ml) Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder

1 teaspoon (5g) onion powder

For the Special Sauce:

1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise

2 tablespoons (30ml) sweet pickle relish

2 tablespoons (30ml) ketchup

1 tablespoon (15ml) yellow mustard

1 tablespoon (15ml) white vinegar

1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder

1 teaspoon (5g) onion powder

1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) paprika

1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt

For Assembly:

24 mini slider buns or dinner rolls, preferably with sesame seeds

12 slices American cheese, each cut into 4 squares (48 small pieces total)

1 cup (75g) finely shredded iceberg lettuce

24 dill pickle slices

1/4 cup (40g) finely diced white onion

2 tablespoons (30g) butter, melted

1 tablespoon (10g) sesame seeds (if buns don't have them)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Divide the meat mixture into 48 equal portions (about 1/3 oz or 10g each) and shape into thin, small patties slightly larger than your mini buns, as they will shrink when cooking.

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

While the patties are cooking, prepare the special sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, pickle relish, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

If your buns don't have sesame seeds, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

Slice all the mini buns horizontally into thirds (top, middle, and bottom), creating the signature three-layer Big Mac structure.

To assemble each mini burger: Spread special sauce on the bottom bun piece, then add a small amount of diced onion, shredded lettuce, and a beef patty.

Place a square of American cheese on the patty, then add the middle bun piece.

Spread more special sauce on the middle bun, add more lettuce, a pickle slice, and another beef patty topped with cheese.

Spread a small amount of special sauce on the underside of the top bun and place it on top to complete the mini burger.

Secure each assembled mini burger with a toothpick if desired.

Serve immediately while still warm and cheese is melty.
