(Last Updated On: September 7, 2023) NATIONAL DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER DAY | SEPTEMBER 15 One of America’s favorites, National Double Cheeseburger Day recognizes a food icon savored across the United States.
#DoubleCheeseburgerDay
Hamburger. Seasoned ground beef, grilled and placed between 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 would create a modern American version a hamburger.
Now, double the patties and the cheese. The celebration requires it.
While the day is about the double cheeseburger, that doesn’t mean you can’t add your favorite toppings. When it comes to adding some tanginess to a burger, a few ingredients never fail. Goat cheese brightens a burger every time. But if you’re looking for a crispness, too, add some creamy coleslaw instead. Another option in this category is the reliable tartar sauce.
If you like to bring the heat, you can look to your cheeses. Pepper jack is a mild way of adding some spice. However, if you prefer to test the limits, fresh sliced jalapenos or habaneros will also do the trick.
It is most likely that the hamburger sandwich first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries, but there is much controversy over its origin. Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States.
And Americans love their burgers! Restaurants dedicated to making them just right have been in business for generations. Even those who refrain from red meat don’t hesitate to find a way to enjoy a juicy burger. Whether the burger is charbroiled, grilled or barely kisses the heat, there’s a flavor for you.
So when something this delicious exists, double it! Then celebrate it!

“NATIONAL DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER DAY – September 15”
Looks like I’m making a trip to McDonald’s!
Drool...
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, we will serve you if you let us....
Two all beef patties special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun......Ping!................
Wait, wut? Isn’t National Cheeseburger Day on September 18th? I have it marked on my calendar. Two national cheeseburger days just days apart? What joy!
This is DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER DAY............
Your post reminds me, I need to tell Diana, I just heard last night that our small town is expecting a Culver’s in the next year! A huge competitor to Mickey D’s in this neck of the country. Even though I love my husband’s burgers THE BEST, Culver’s are my favorite from FF chains.
I just KNEW you were gonna reply with that! ;)
We have one right across the street from Mickey D’s...........
Somebody give me a cheeseburger!
When is National Booger Eating Day?
On the double!
They have been adding Culver’s to so many places near me in the last few years. I’ve seen 2 go up that are closer to our town, but now this one will be a 5 minute drive from my house. That’s dangerous!
Fries!
Those were the actually funny days on SNL. They don’t do comedy like that anymore.
Doo, da da doo doo, doo da doooo…. Livin in the USA.
Happy for you!
Culver’s is the only place we ‘do’ fast food - and it’s really not all that ‘fast’ as they make it after you order it. ;)
Really good stuff. Love their fish, and we get a small dish of whatever Custard is the ‘Flavor of the Day’ and split it.
You’re going to be a regular, there. :)
I am sure my waistline will stop being trim. It was easy for me to have willpower when the closest one was a 20 minute drive.
