About the Hungry Jack's BBQ Cheeseburger

The BBQ Cheeseburger is $5.95 and 1,415 kJ, and it sits in the Penny Pinchers range, which means the price is permanent rather than promotional. Flame grilled Australian beef, cheese, lashings of BBQ sauce and mayonnaise on a toasted bun.

Swapping tomato sauce for BBQ sauce sounds minor and changes the burger completely. Tomato sauce is sharp and thin and it disappears behind the beef. BBQ sauce is thick, sweet and smoky, and it sits alongside the flame grill rather than under it. The result tastes of smoke twice over, once from the grill and once from the sauce.

Mayonnaise rather than mustard is the other switch, and it is what stops the burger going cloying. Where a Cheeseburger uses mustard and pickles to cut the fat, this one uses fat to soften the sugar. It is a rounder, softer burger with no sharp edges anywhere in it.

The numbers sit slightly above a standard Cheeseburger at 24.9g fat against 16g, driven by the mayonnaise, with sodium at 513mg which is lower than the Cheeseburger's 619mg. Protein is 15.8g. At 1,415 kJ it is one of the lighter hot items on the board.

Who it suits: anyone who finds mustard too sharp, and anyone ordering for kids, since sweet and smoky travels better with a young palate than mustard and pickle does. At $5.95 from a permanent range it is also one of the most reliable cheap orders on the menu.

Pair it with 3 Nuggets & Chips Carry Cup at $3.95 for a cheap full meal, or compare against the plain Cheeseburger at $5.90.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's BBQ Cheeseburger at Home?

The whole burger turns on the BBQ sauce, so buy a decent one or make it. A sauce that is mostly sugar gives you a sweet burger with no depth. Makes 4 servings against $5.95 each.

Tips

  • The vinegar in the sauce is what keeps it from going flat. Do not leave it out to save a step.
  • Sauce both bun faces. This burger has no pickles or salad, so the sauce is the only moisture in it.
  • Cool the sauce before building or it soaks straight into the toasted bun.

Variations

  • Mustard and pickles instead of BBQ and mayonnaise makes a Cheeseburger.
  • Add bacon and onion rings and you are heading toward a Cowboy Whopper.
  • Two patties doubles it into something close to a small double cheeseburger with BBQ sauce.

Serve immediately with chips. The BBQ sauce softens a toasted bun faster than tomato sauce does, so this one has a short window.

Hungry Jack's BBQ Cheeseburger Questions

$5.95, and it is part of the permanent Penny Pinchers range rather than a limited offer, so the price does not expire.

1,415 kJ, with 15.8g of protein and 513mg of sodium. The sodium is actually lower than a standard Cheeseburger at 619mg.

The sauces. BBQ sauce and mayonnaise instead of tomato sauce and mustard, and no pickles. That takes out every sharp element and leaves a sweeter, rounder burger.

No. BBQ sauce here is sweet and smoky rather than hot. For heat, the Angry Whopper at $14.05 is the one to order.

It is one of the better numbers on the menu for energy per dollar, and the price is permanent rather than promotional. The full list of items under five dollars is here.
