Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese

What is it?

Two quarter-pound beef patties sit in a sesame seed bun with melted cheese, pickles, finely chopped onions, mustard, and ketchup. It’s built from half a pound of beef before cooking, so the patties stay thick and meaty rather than thin and smashed. Compared with McDonald’s standard cheeseburger lineup, this one goes bigger on the beef and keeps the same basic toppings. The cheese is layered between the patties, with the pickles, onions, mustard, and ketchup doing the usual work of adding salt, sharpness, and a bit of acidity.
