About Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger

The Sweet and Spicy Bacon Burger runs $8.99 with 1080 calories, built on the same quarter pound patty as the original but finished with a sweet heat sauce, bacon and cheese. The sauce is the point: sugar first, pepper after, which is a different kind of heat from the vinegar sharpness of jalapenos.

It is one of the sweeter items on a menu that usually stays savory, so it splits opinion. If you like a barbecue leaning burger it lands well, and the bacon keeps it from tipping into dessert territory. A Jr. version is available at $7.19.

Tips

  • Taste the sauce before it hits the burger. Balance is easier to fix in the pan than on the plate.
  • Brush the sauce on the patty, not on the bun, so the bread stays intact.
  • Add cayenne last and slowly. It is easy to overshoot.

Variations

  • Honey heat: swap brown sugar for honey and add a dash of hot sauce.
  • Double meat sweet and spicy: add a second patty to balance the sugar.
  • Chicken version: use a fried chicken fillet instead of beef.

Serving Ideas

Serve with onion rings and an unsweet tea. Sweet drink plus sweet sauce is too much.
