Notes

The source specifies 4–5 cheese slices for the fries; the ingredient row uses 4 slices as the lower end of that range. Patty size, cooking temperature, and exact doneness time are not specified. The source calls the dish a double cheeseburger but does not explicitly state how many patties to form per burger.
