Carl’s Jr. And Hardee’s are taking the iconic taste of their charbroiled burger and Philly Cheesesteak to create two delicious new menu items: the Philly Cheesesteak Angus Thickburger and the Philly Cheesesteak Breakfast Burrito.
Available from both Carl's Jr. and Hardee's locations, the new Philly Cheesesteak Angus Thickburger takes a one-third pound, 100% Angus beef patty, tops it with thinly sliced ribeye steak, and then layers on melted cheese, fire-roasted onions, and peppers, and mayo. Also available from both Carl's Jr. and Hardee's locations, the new Cheesesteak Breakfast Burrito takes a warm flour tortilla and fills it with thinly sliced ribeye steak, scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and fire-roasted onions, and peppers.
Both of the new menu items are available now for a limited time.
