TikTok foodie Bec Hardgrave says she has found a way to replicate McDonald’s famous Quarter Pounder burger at home on a budget. The fitness and lifestyle influencer showed her audience of 116.5K followers how to make their own take on the fast food favourite using ingredients all purchased from ALDI.
She explained that the recipe finally came together when she happened upon some brioche buns at the supermarket.
In the video, Bec explained: “So I found these brioche buns in ALDI and they taste literally like McDonald’s.
“Get 100g of lean beef mince, press it down with a plate to make it flat, add your smokey cheddar cheese, melt it, add burger sauce, lettuce, raw onions, pickles and build your burger.”
In a comment beneath the video, Bec added: “I forgot to mention salt and pepper in the patty.”
Aldi’s four-pack of Specially Selected Sliced Brioche Burger Buns is available for 99p.

Viewers were quick to comment on the video sharing their take on the recipe.
A follower named Abbey Johnston said: “Those burger buns look so yum.”
Another commenter, named Kels, added that the homemade recipe would reduce how much oil the food is cooked in compared with a restaurant-bought burger.
She also added some fitness perks of the burger, due to its high levels of protein compared with its calorie content.
Kels explained: “The macro in this burger [are] better and the burgers at McDonald’s are processed with oil, etcetera.”
However, commenter Jess felt the burger looked too “small” compared with the McDonald’s version.
