Beef Patty
The Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe uses a smaller fresh beef patty seasoned with sea salt. While lighter than Wendy’s quarter-pound burgers, it still delivers a recognizable beef flavor. The reduced size helps keep calories and fat lower without removing core ingredients.
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 structured, designed to hold multiple toppings without overwhelming the smaller patty.
Cheese
A slice of American cheese is added for creaminess and mild saltiness. On a junior-sized burger, the cheese plays a more noticeable role in flavor balance, complementing the beef without overpowering it.
Vegetables
Lettuce, tomato, sweet onion, and crinkle-cut pickles are included, giving this burger the same fresh topping mix as larger deluxe burgers. These vegetables add crunch, moisture, and acidity, helping the sandwich feel complete despite its smaller size.
Sauces and Condiments
Mayonnaise and ketchup are used as standard condiments. Mayonnaise adds smoothness, while ketchup contributes sweetness and acidity. Mustard may be added at select locations for extra tang.
