3 Unique Cheese and Steakburger Dishes to Try at Freddy’s
At Freddy’s, guests can choose from a variety of cheeseburgers, as well as assorted cheeses. Periodically, our limited-time only specials like the Pretzel Bacon BBQ Steakburger may also include common cheeseburger toppings like American cheese plus other unique cheese components, such as the Fat Tire Beer Cheese in this burger. Our current menu also includes 3 unique cheeseburger creations:
The Grilled Cheese Steakburger
A mashup of two crowd-pleasing dishes – the grilled cheese and the burger, this steakburger selection features not one but two types of cheese, American and Swiss cheese, and four slices of cheese in total. Served on golden, buttery Texas Toast, the Grilled Cheese Steakburger also includes two steakburger patties, crispy bacon and a tangy tomato spread to bring in similar flavors to that of tomato soup – a common “dipping sauce” for grilled cheese sandwiches.
The Steakburger Taco
Instead of a toasted bun, slices of bread or a lettuce wrap, this cheeseburger comes wrapped in a grilled tortilla. Inside the tortilla, a steakburger patty with American cheese, fresh lettuce and Freddy’s Famous Jalapeño Fry Sauce® complete the Steakburger Taco.
Steakburger Bowl
For a dish that takes a more deconstructed approach to the cheeseburger, try the Steakburger Bowl! Instead of cheese melting over the patty, the steakburger patties and shreds of both Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses are included separately in this bowl along with crispy romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions, chopped crispy bacon and a choice of sauce.
