Recipe
Start with two 100% beef patties, each weighing approximately 113 grams. Season them with salt and pepper, then cook to your desired doneness.
For the cheese, use two slices of cheddar, placing one on each patty during the last minute of cooking to guarantee perfect melting.
Assemble the burger in a soft, regular bun, adding ketchup, mustard, diced onions, and dill pickle slices to achieve that classic McDonald’s flavor.
For an authentic taste, toast the bun lightly before assembly and use quality condiments. Feel free to experiment with burger variations by adding bacon or substituting with your favorite sauces.
Leverage various cooking techniques, such as grilling or pan-frying, to achieve your ideal patty texture.
Key to a successful Double Cheeseburger is balancing flavors and textures, so pay attention to the cooking process and condiment selection.
