Homemade Copycat Big Mac Sliders
A copycat version of the classic McDonald's Big Mac made with fresh ingredients. Lean ground beef cuddled inside a sesame seed bun and topped with homemade McDonald's special sauce.
Ingredients
Burgers
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 pound lean or very lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup onion minced
- 3 slices of Cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with olive oil spray.
- Spread out the ground beef evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake ground beef in the oven for 20 minutes or until the temperature is 160 degrees F.
- While beef is cooking prepare the sauce: place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until combined.
- When beef is cooked removed from the pan and cut into 12 equal squares.
Burger assembly:

- Spread sauce on top of the slider bun and add a pinch of onion.

Notes
If you want to warm the burgers, which I recommend, wrap them in foil either individually or all together in a baking pan. Place the burger back into the oven until the cheese melts for about 5-10 minutes.
