Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A homemade version of the classic fast-food burger featuring two juicy beef patties, melted American cheese, and all the fixings on a soft sesame seed bun.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 slices American cheese
• 2 sesame seed burger buns
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 4 dill pickle slices
• 2 slices white onion
• 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
• 2 slices tomato

Instructions

1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz each). Shape each into a thin patty, slightly larger than the bun, and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep brown crust forms. In the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
3. While patties cook, toast the buns cut-side down in the skillet or under the broiler until golden.
4. Assemble the burgers: On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Place two cheese-topped patties on top. Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun, then close the burger.
5. Serve immediately with fries or a side of your choice.

Tips

• For best results, use freshly ground beef with 20% fat for juicy patties.
• Press the center of each patty slightly thinner than the edges to prevent doming during cooking.
• If you prefer, you can add shredded lettuce instead of whole leaves for a more classic texture.
