Two beef patties and two slices of melted American cheese with pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard.
The Double Cheeseburger is the cheesier sibling of the McDouble. It has the same two beef patties, pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard, but adds a second slice of cheese between the patties.
That extra slice adds about 50 calories and usually costs 50 cents to a dollar more, so if you love melted cheese it is worth it, but the McDouble is the better pure value.
