Premium Ingredients Behind the Quarter Pounder™ with Cheese
The Quarter Pounder™ with Cheese is built around a handful of carefully selected ingredients, each chosen to complement the rich flavour of its 100% beef quarter-pound patty. Rather than relying on complex combinations, the burger uses classic toppings that enhance the beef without overpowering it.
- 100% Quarter Pound Beef Patty – Made from pure beef with no fillers, preservatives, or artificial flavour enhancers. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper after cooking.
- Two Slices of Cheddar Cheese – Adds a rich, creamy texture that melts perfectly over the hot beef patty.
- Sesame Seed Bun – Soft and lightly toasted to provide structure while allowing the beef to remain the star of the burger.
- Fresh Onions – Cooked directly on the grill with the beef to add a naturally sweet, savoury flavour.
- Pickle Slices – Deliver a crisp texture and tangy contrast to the richness of the cheese and beef.
- Tomato Ketchup – Adds a light touch of sweetness that balances the savoury ingredients.
- Mustard – Provides a subtle sharpness that completes the burger’s classic flavour profile.
Instead of using speciality sauces or multiple layers, the Quarter Pounder™ with Cheese relies on premium-quality beef and a simple combination of fresh ingredients to create its signature taste.
