Wendy’s Penny Burger Recipe [Wendy’s 1 Penny Burger]

Wendy’s Penny Burger – There isn’t actually a permanent “penny burger” on the Wendy’s menu. Wendy’s has offered a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for just a penny in the past, but it was a limited-time promotional offer, typically to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day or other occasions.

Wendy’s Penny Burger Recipe

Since Wendy’s Penny Burger (Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for a penny) is a promotional item and not a regular menu offering, there isn’t an official recipe available. However, we can create a recipe inspired by a typical Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger:

Ingredients:

• For the Beef Patty:
  • 2 oz Ground Beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Pinch of Onion Powder (Optional)
• For the Toppings:
  • 1 Slice American Cheese
  • 1 Slice Bacon, cooked crisp
  • 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tomato Slice
  • 1 Leaf Lettuce (optional)
• For the Bun:
  • 1 Hamburger Bun (square shape preferred)

Instructions:

1. Season the Beef Patty: In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and onion powder (if using). Mix gently to distribute the seasonings without overworking the meat.
2. Form the Patty: Form the seasoned ground beef into a patty slightly wider than the hamburger bun to account for shrinkage during cooking.
3. Cook the Patty: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of cooking oil if needed. Cook the patty for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or according to your desired doneness.
4. Toast the Bun (Optional): While the patty cooks, toast the hamburger bun lightly in a toaster or pan for a warmer and crispier texture (optional).
5. Assemble the Burger: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce (if using), tomato slice, cheese, cooked bacon patty, and top with the other half of the bun.
