Low Carb Big Mac Bites

I’ll be the first to admit it, I’m kind of obsessed with Big Mac sauce. What can I say? That special sauce is magical! These easy Low Carb Big Mac Bites were inspired by the Low Carb Big Mac Bowl I made recently. You know Melinda and I love bite size appetizers and who doesn’t like food-on-a-stick at a party? Say hello to these awesome mini bunless burgers served with a creamy, tangy special sauce :).

Tips for Making Low Carb Big Mac Bites:

• Use slightly 80/20 ground beef. The added fat in the ground beef helps keep your mini burgers nice and moist.
• These little patties will shrink as they cook so if you are patting them out by hand make them just a bit wider than you want them to be after they are cooked.
• Want perfectly uniform mini burger patties? Try using a lid from a small jar, or a cookie cutter, as a form for your ground beef. You’ll have to find one that is the right size (slightly larger than you want the burger to be once it is cooked) but once you have it you’re good to go. Line the lid with plastic wrap to keep the ground beef from sticking inside of it!
• Make extra sauce…seriously guys, this stuff goes fast!

A Note on American Cheese:

Many people think of those individually wrapped cheese sliced labeled “cheese product” when they think of American cheese. You can purchase REAL American cheese at the deli counter (Boar’s Head makes a great American cheese). If you want to double-check just ask to see the label before purchasing.

Big Mac Sauce

Guys this Big Mac Sauce is everything!

• Mayonnaise
• Dill Pickle Relish
• Paprika
• Yellow Mustard
• White Wine Vinegar
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder

Everything goes in a bowl and you stir it together until it’s fully combined. It’s creamy, tangy, and totally amazing. Make extra and put a little on your Low Carb Big Mac Bowl the next day. You are going to thank me!

These tasty mini burgers are perfect for parties because they can feed your low carb AND carb-loving guests and no one will even miss that bread. Make them for tailgating parties, game day parties, summer picnics, or just a fun weeknight dinner for the family. Once you dip those little burger bites in that special sauce you’re going to be going back for seconds!

Can I Make Low Carb Big Mac Bites Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can cook the mini burger patties the day before and store them in the refrigerator. Before guests arrive heat them up in the microwave, or wrap them in a little aluminum foil and warm them in the oven, and then assemble them. The special sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
