Burger King Lithuania is bringing together two beloved comfort foods in one delicious meal with the launch of its new Mac & Cheese Burger.
The new Mac & Cheese Burger is part of a wider Macaroni & Cheese Lover menu, which will be available from all participating Burger King Lithuania locations for a limited time. The star of the new menu, the Mac & Cheese Burger, consists of a crispy-fried mac & cheese patty layered on top of a regular burger patty, and paired with grilled onions, lettuce, chili cheese sauce, and ketchup, all served on a corn-dusted bun. The Mac & Cheese Chicken Sandwich features the same ingredients, but swaps the grilled beef patty for a crispy-fried chicken filet. There's also a Mac & Cheese Veggie Burger, which features a meat-free grilled veggie patty.
