Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe

    The Quarter Pounder dressed for a backyard cookout. Lettuce, Roma tomato and mayo go on top of the usual build, and that cold, crunchy layer does more than you would expect: the burger stops tasting like fast food and starts tasting like something off a grill at a friend’s house. The trade-off is mess. The mayo and tomato make it slide.

    What’s inside

    • quarter-pound beef patty
    • American cheese
    • shredded lettuce
    • Roma tomato
    • mayonnaise
    • slivered onions
    • pickles
    • sesame seed bun

    Make it at home

    My copycat first, then everything I built on top of it.
