Quarter Pounder Deluxe Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A juicy, homemade Quarter Pounder Deluxe that rivals the fast-food classic, featuring a thick beef patty, melted cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, pickles, onions, and a special sauce on a soft sesame seed bun.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
• 4 slices ripe tomato
• 8 dill pickle slices
• 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp sweet pickle relish
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (6 oz each). Shape into patties slightly larger than the buns, about 3/4-inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, and garlic powder to make the special sauce. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
4. Toast the buns on the skillet until golden, about 1 minute.
5. Spread special sauce on the bottom bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slice, cheese-topped patty, pickles, and chopped onion. Cover with top bun.
6. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a juicier patty, make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent doming.
• Store leftover special sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Customize with bacon or jalapeños if desired.
