This fabulous Travis Scott burger copycat recipe is the exact replica of the famous McDonald's Travis Scott burger loaded with a juicy beef burger patty, crispy bacon, relish, and cheddar cheese. It's easy to make at home and tastes even better than the real thing because it's homemade with natural ingredients and customizable!
Prepare the flavorful toppings by washing lettuce and slicing onions and pickles. The McDonald's version uses shredded lettuce, but you can leave the lettuce leaves whole if you prefer.
Next, cut the sesame seeds hamburger buns in half.
Mix the mustard and ketchup together in a small bowl.
Mix the ground beef with salt and pepper, then divide ground beef into 4 equal parts and shape patties.
Cooking Instructions
Set your frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat to get hot, and toast the burger bun halves for 30 seconds to a minute until charred slightly.
Next, cook the bacon strips for 2 minutes on either side in the hot skillet until crispy and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Place the shaped quarter pounder patties in the skillet until golden brown on either side and the juices run clear, and the internal temperature of beef reaches 160˚F. Around 4 minutes on either side.
Add cheese slices on top of the beef patties for the last 1-2 minutes until melted.
Assemble the Travis Scott burger by spreading the burger sauce on the bottom bun and placing a slice of cheese, followed by the cooked beef patty on top.
Place a slice of crispy bacon on top of the patty, followed by the shredded lettuce, sliced onions, and sliced pickles.
Spread the burger sauce on the top bun and place it on top.
Serve immediately with French fries. Enjoy!
