Equipment

grill pan
cast iron skillet

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef I used 90/10
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 cups shredded lettuce
10 dill pickle chips
½ cup diced onions
5 slices American cheese cut in quarters
10 slider buns

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the ground beef with the kosher salt and pepper.
Form into 10 mini burger patties about 3 inches wide. Make sure they are really thin.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup and sweet pickle relish. Set aside.
Preheat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook them for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes per side. After the burgers are flipped the first time, top with 2 of the quarter pieces of American cheese. Remove burgers to a plate and set aside.
Cut the buns for the burgers. For each bun, slice the top bun in 2 pieces. Each burger will have a top bun, middle bun and bottom bun.
For each Big Mac slider, place the bottom bun on a plate. Top with 1 burger, some of the special sauce, diced onions, shredded lettuce, the middle bun, another burger, more special sauce, diced onions, 2 pickle chips, more shredded lettuce and the top bun.
Serve immediately.

Notes

A grill pan or a cast iron skillet is a suitable stand-in for an outdoor grill. There is no need to head outdoors to cook the burgers. The burgers are super thin and cook up very quickly.
The burgers cook quickly so make sure you have all the burger toppings prepped before cooking the patties. That way the Big Mac sliders will be served piping hot.
The homemade special sauce is a combination of mayonnaise, ketchup and sweet pickle relish; ingredients many have on hand. In a pinch, use a bottle of 1000 island dressing instead.
