What is National Double Cheeseburger Day?

National Double Cheeseburger Day, one of America's favorites, honors a food icon savored around the country.

Hamburger is a Hamburger. Seasoned ground beef, grilled and served on two slices of bread or a bun. Top with sauteed onions, peppers, pickles, sliced onions, and cheese. Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Any one of these combinations will result in the creation of a modern American version of a hamburger.

Now, double the patties and the cheese. It's a celebration that calls for it.

Although the day is dedicated to the double cheeseburger, that doesn't mean you can't add your favorite toppings. A few ingredients never fail when it comes to adding tanginess to a burger. Every time, Goat cheese brightens a burger. But if you're looking for a crispness, try some creamy coles law instead. The classic tartar sauce is another option in this category.

If you like to bring the heat, try your cheeses. Pepper jack is a mild way to add a dash of heat. However, if you prefer to test the limits, fresh sliced jalapenos or habaneros will also do the trick.
