Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • For the Mini Big Mac Sliders
  • 8 small sesame seed slider buns
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices American cheese cut in half
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup finely diced white onion
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle slices chopped
  • For the Fries and Nuggets
  • 1 pound frozen French fries
  • 16 frozen chicken nuggets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • For Serving
  • Ketchup for dipping
  • Honey mustard for dipping
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle slices extra for serving

Method
 

  1. Make the copycat Big Mac sauce first. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven according to the package directions for the French fries and chicken nuggets. Spread the fries in a single layer on one baking sheet and the nuggets on another.
  3. Bake the fries and nuggets until golden and crispy, following the package timing, usually about 18 to 20 minutes. Season the hot fries with salt as soon as they come out of the oven.
  4. While the fries and nuggets bake, divide the ground beef into 8 small patties, each about 2 ounces. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Place half a slice of American cheese on each patty during the final minute so it melts.
  6. Toast the slider buns cut-side down in the same skillet for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  7. Spread Big Mac sauce on both sides of each toasted bun. On the bottom bun, add shredded lettuce, diced onion, chopped pickles, a cheesy beef patty, and the top bun.
  8. Arrange the sliders on a large serving board with hot fries, chicken nuggets, extra pickles, shredded lettuce, ketchup, honey mustard, and the remaining Big Mac sauce.
  9. Serve immediately while the burgers are warm and the fries are crisp. For loaded fries, top a portion of fries with chopped beef patty pieces, pickles, onion, lettuce, and a drizzle of Big Mac sauce.

Notes

  • For a stronger tang, add an extra teaspoon of pickle relish juice to the sauce.
  • Use sweet pickle relish for a slightly sweeter sauce, or dill relish for a sharper flavor.
  • To make the sliders lighter, use grilled chicken patties or turkey burgers instead of beef.
  • Store leftover Big Mac sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Keep cooked fries warm in a 200°F / 95°C oven while assembling the sliders.
  • For a party version, double the sauce and slider ingredients to serve 8 people.
