Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 400 g beef mince (80/20)
- 2 large sesame-seed buns
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1 tomato, sliced thick
- ¼ white onion, sliced into rings
- 8 dill pickle slices
- 4 large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
- Salt and cracked pepper
Method
- Form 2 wide, thin patties of about 200 g each and season. The Whopper style is flame-grilled — a barbecue grill gives the closest char; a smoking-hot cast-iron pan works too.
- Grill 3–4 minutes per side, adding cheese for the final minute.
- Toast the sesame buns.
- Build: mayonnaise on the crown, then lettuce, tomato and onion; ketchup on the base, pickles, then the patty.
- Wrap in paper for 2 minutes if you want the full takeaway effect — it steams the bun slightly. Tip: wide and thin is the Whopper shape — a thick pub-style patty will not eat like a Whopper — and grill, do not fry, or you lose the flame-grilled char that defines it.
