quarter pounder

Four-ounce meat patty

A quarter pounder is a hamburger made with a beef patty weighing a quarter pound (four ounces) before cooking.

The term became widespread through McDonald's trademarked Quarter Pounder, introduced in 1971, but now describes any burger of that size: I'll have a quarter pounder with cheese.
