"One of the most beloved McDonald's burgers that can no longer be found on U.S. soil is the Angus Third Pounder, first introduced in 2009. Customers could choose from three options: Mushroom & Swiss, Bacon & Cheese, or Deluxe. Different toppings aside, each featured a third-pound patty made of Angus beef, which is known for its rich flavor and superior marbling compared to standard ground beef burger patties."
"The line of Angus burgers enjoyed a solid four-year run before being discontinued from McDonald's U.S. menus in 2013 to the dismay of its loyal following. Over the years, an Angus patty was featured in test items like the English Pub Burger, Clubhouse Angus, and CBO (Cheddar Bacon Onion) burger. Ultimately, modest sales coupled with premium beef prices made selling the burger no longer feasible in America."
"For many customers, the Angus Third Pounder was one of the tastiest options on the menu and would probably earn a top spot in our ranking of McDonald's burgers, today. Diners were particularly partial to the cheesy, mushroom-laden version. "That Mushroom and Swiss was the 2nd best thing McDonald's ever made (Big N' Tasty #1)," declared one Redditor. Even people who didn't normally like mushrooms were fans."
McDonald’s offered Angus Third Pounder burgers in the U.S. starting in 2009, with choices including Mushroom & Swiss, Bacon & Cheese, or Deluxe. Each option used a third-pound patty made from Angus beef, known for rich flavor and superior marbling compared with standard ground beef patties. The Angus line ran for about four years before being removed from U.S. menus in 2013. Test items later featured Angus patties, including English Pub Burger, Clubhouse Angus, and CBO (Cheddar Bacon Onion). Customers praised the burgers for taste, especially the cheesy mushroom version, and some described them as uniquely craveable. Discontinuation followed modest sales and premium beef pricing that made the burger no longer feasible in America.
