Wendy’s Jr. Burger

This burger is relatively easy to prepare. There is no magic sauce, there is only mayo, American cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Really – so what makes this burger so good? Perhaps it is the perfect shape of the patty (use a cookie cutter), or the fact that the hamburger bun is grilled? Actually, there is a science to stacking everything so pay attention.
