Instructions

Prepare the Beef Bites:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Beef: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and egg. Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape the Bites: Form the beef mixture into 12 evenly sized balls and flatten slightly into mini patty shapes.
  4. Bake the Bites: Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until fully cooked.

Prepare the Special Sauce:

  1. Mix the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, dill pickle relish, vinegar, and smoked paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  2. Chill the Sauce: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Big Mac Bites:

  1. Add Cheese: Once the patties are cooked, place a small cheddar cheese square on top of each beef bite while still warm to allow it to melt slightly.
  2. Top with Pickles: Add a dill pickle slice on top of the cheese.
  3. Drizzle with Sauce: Spoon the special sauce over each bite.
  4. Finish with Lettuce: Garnish each bite with a pinch of shredded lettuce.

Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Serve Immediately: Arrange the bites on a platter and serve warm.
