Carl's Jr. is bringing the heat this spring with the launch of its new Spicy Lil Cheeseburger.
The latest limited-time offering from the chain, the new Spicy Lil Cheeseburger packs just as much heat as the name suggests. The burger starts with one of Carl's Jr.'s signature charbroiled beef patties, which is then layered with pepper jack cheese, jalapeño coins, and Santa Fe Sauce, all served on a plain bun.
The Spicy Lil Cheeseburger can be enjoyed on its own, or as part of the chain's 2 for $5 Mix and Match Value Bundle. This bundle allows you to pay just $5 for any two items from a dedicated value menu that includes tasty morsels like 6-piece Chicken Stars, Small Hash Rounds, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, French Toast Dips, and more.
