Ruby Tuesday's New Mac ’N Cheeseburger Combines Two Dishes into One

— October 18, 2019 — Lifestyle
This fall, Ruby Tuesday is giving you a way to indulge in two of your favorite comfort foods at once with its new Mac ’n Cheeseburger. Launched as part of the chain's Classic Twists lineup, the Mac ’n Cheeseburger will also be accompanied by the new Hot Honey & Bacon Chicken Sandwich.

Ruby Tuesday's Classic Twists lineup is essentially limited-edition dishes that put a spin on fan-favorite meals. The latest to join this lineup is the Mac ’n Cheeseburger, which combines the cheesiness of macaroni and cheese, with the savory taste of a beef burger. To create this mashup, the burger starts with a beef patty, topped with bacon and a generous portion of homemade mac ’n cheese. The whole thing is served on a lightly toasted split-top bun that helps to contain the cheesy goodness inside.
