Beef Patties
The Bacon Double Stack uses two junior-sized beef patties made from fresh ground beef and seasoned with sea salt. While smaller than quarter-pound patties, the double stack provides a noticeable beef presence. Using fresh beef helps maintain flavor and texture despite the reduced size.
Bun
The sandwich is served on a junior bun made from enriched wheat flour with sesame flour and whole grain corn flour. The bun is soft but sturdy enough to hold multiple layers, making it suitable for a stacked burger without adding excessive calories.
Bacon
Applewood smoked bacon is added for smoky flavor and saltiness. The bacon plays a central role in defining this burger, adding intensity that compensates for the smaller beef patties.
Cheese
A slice of American cheese is included to add creaminess and mild salt balance. On a compact burger like this, the cheese helps tie together the beef and bacon without overpowering the overall flavor.
Vegetables
Crinkle-cut pickles and sweet onion provide acidity and sharpness. These ingredients help balance the richness of the beef, cheese, and bacon while keeping the flavor profile straightforward.
Sauces and Condiments
Ketchup and mustard are used as standard condiments. Ketchup adds sweetness and acidity, while mustard provides tang and sharpness. This sauce combination keeps the burger lighter compared to mayo-based builds.
