Baking Tips
Use 80/20 ground beef for the juiciest patties
Don't press down on patties while cooking - it squeezes out juices
Make sauce ahead of time for better flavor development
Keep patties slightly smaller than bun size to account for shrinkage
Toast buns for authentic texture and to prevent sogginess
Use a meat thermometer - cook to 160°F for food safety
Let patties rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking
Assemble just before serving to maintain crispness
Double the sauce recipe - everyone will want extra

Instructions

01
Make the Special Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ketchup, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
02
Prepare the Beef: In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Don't overmix to keep patties tender.
03
Form Mini Patties: Divide beef mixture into 12 equal portions. Form into small patties slightly larger than your mini buns (they'll shrink when cooking). Make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
04
Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2-3 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute, place cheese slices on top of each patty to melt.
05
Toast the Buns: While patties rest, butter the cut sides of mini buns and toast them in the same pan until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
06
Assemble the Mini Big Macs: Spread special sauce on both top and bottom buns. Place lettuce on bottom bun, add the cheesy beef patty, top with diced onions and pickle slices, add more special sauce if desired, and crown with top bun.
07
Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve immediately while warm. Provide extra special sauce on the side for dipping. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
