Cheesy Pickled Jalapeño Burgers

The Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese is Coming

— June 4, 2023 — Lifestyle
Things are heating up over at McDonald's this summer with the launch of the new Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

Set to officially arrive on McDonald's menus on June 20, 2023, the new Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese pairs the brand's signature 100% beef Quarter Pounder patty with two slices of American cheese, American cheese, pickled jalapeños, three half-strips of applewood-smoked bacon, and creamy cheese sauce, all served on a soft sesame seed bun. Fans also have the option to enjoy the new Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese (or Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon QPC) as a double with two Quarter Pounder patties.

The new Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon QPC is the latest addition to the brand’s QPC platform, and is the reportedly first-ever spicy take on the signature sandwich.
