Big Mac Sloppy Joes

These Big Mac Sloppy Joes have all the flavors of your favorite, classic fast food burger! Ground beef, onions and relish mixed together with that “special sauce”. Top with pickles, cheese and a good drizzle of our copycat Big Mac Sauce!

Why We Love These Big Mac Sliders

I’m going to go out there and say that these Big Mac Sliders are a home run. Yep, an over the fence, out of the park home run.

You can make this sloppy joe recipe for a fun dinner, or grab slider buns and serve them for appetizers at your next happy hour or party.

This is a super easy dinner recipe that the whole family is going to love, I guarantee it. We usually make a double batch because leftovers are so good, they’ll be fought over. And another meal I don’t have to cook? Well that is a home run.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Ground Beef: You can really use any kind of ground beef here, from an 80/20 to a leaner blend.
• Onions: Sweet yellow onions, finely diced.
• Pickle Relish: Use sweet relish to mimic the Big Mac flavor.
• Mayonnaise: We use full fat, but you can use low fat or light if you prefer.
• Ketchup: We love the brand we love, but use your favorite brand.
• White Vinegar: Just a splash to give the sauce a tangy flavor.
• Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder.

Can You Make These Big Mac Sliders Ahead of Time?

The answer is mostly, yes. You can make the filling ahead of time, but I do recommend doing it a certain way. Make the beef filling and the sauce separately.

Then right before serving, heat up the beef filling and mix the sauce in with it while it’s warm. That way these sliders are the best tasting, creamiest versions of themselves. If you’re heating up leftovers, you’ll still be fine but the sauce wont’ be as creamy as when it’s firt made.

How To Serve Big Mac Sloppy Joes

Like we mentioned before, you can serve these sloppy joes on regular sized buns for dinner or slider bins for appetizers. We like top top them with a slice of American cheese and a few pickle slices, some shredded lettuce would also be delicious.

If you really want to kick up the Big Mac flavor, try adding a drizzle of our copycat Big Mac Sauce on top, right before serving. We made that recipe so many times – and went through tons of Big Macs to get the flavor right. You have to try it!

Or make it a wrap by adding this filling to a flour tortilla with cheese, pickles, lettuce and Big Mac Sauce. Kind of like a Big Mac burrito if you will…it’s so good, we’ve even had these for breakfast.

And one last way that we have used this recipe is adding the filling to these cheeseburger bowls, it’s a great way to repurpose leftovers and it’s crazy good.
