McDonald's Double Cheeseburger (Copycat Recipe)

This classic McDonald's Double Cheeseburger copycat recipe captures the essence of the beloved fast-food favorite. Juicy beef patties are layered with melted cheese, crisp pickles, and tangy mustard, all nestled in a soft sesame seed bun. It's a satisfying and nostalgic meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, made with traditional ingredients and methods.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 4 slices American cheese
• 2 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 4 slices dill pickles
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into thin patties. Season each patty with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
3. Cook the patties in the preheated skillet for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties, and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the sesame seed buns on the skillet until golden brown.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing one cheese-covered patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add two slices of pickles and a tablespoon of mustard on top of the patty. Place the second cheese-covered patty on top, then cover with the top half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Double Cheeseburger!
