McDonald’s selling line of bigger burgers

NEW YORK — McDonald’s will begin selling a new line of bigger burgers priced at about $4 each today to bring in customers looking for a beefy alternative to pricier burgers at sit-down restaurants.

The new Angus burgers are made with one-third pound of Angus beef and come in three varieties — a deluxe burger with pickles and tomatoes, a mushroom swiss burger and a bacon and cheese burger.

The burgers will be sold in all U.S. locations for the next few months.
