If you’re looking for a quick lunch, Hardee’s has got you covered. They’re famous for their Angus thick burger, as well as chicken tenders and sandwiches.
You can also get a biscuit, or you can even order the breakfast platter with biscuits and gravy, eggs, hash rounds, and cheese. They have all sorts of great deals going on too!
1. The Angus Patty
In my opinion, there is nothing that will beat the taste of a juicy, hearty Angus thick burger. Angus beef burger is considering to be the best of the breeds and is renowning for its marbling, thickness, and visual appeal.
Unlike some other beef breeds, such as Wagyu (Japanese-born cattle), which are raising for the meat market, Angus cows are born and raised in the U.S. In addition, Angus cattle have an intramuscular fat layer that makes them more tender and juicier than their counterparts.
However, even though Angus beef burger cattle are considering the best in the industry. It does not mean that every hamburger labeled as an Angus thick burger is actually make with Angus beef. This is because a variety of factors can impact the quality and consistency of the beef used to make an Angus patty.
But it is true that most burgers sold by restaurants in the United States are make with Angus beef. In fact, many of the biggest burger chains like McDonald’s and Burger King use Angus in their hamburgers because of their marketing value.
The question then becomes, is it worth the extra money to pay for Angus beef? The answer is yes, but only if you can afford to purchase it.
But if you can’t afford it, there is another way to get that delicious Angus flavor at home. You can purchase Angus ground beef from the grocery store and have it delivered right to your door. You’ll surprised by how delicious it is and how much better it tastes than other ground beef you may have bought in the past.
2. The Sauce
A sauce is an emulsion of fat, seasonings, and other ingredients that is pour over cooked meat or vegetables. They are a key component of most cuisines. They can be thickened with flour, a prepared roux, or refined starch, and they add to the overall flavor of the dish.
Many sauces start out as a simple emulsion. Such as the one you may have had in a soup or stew. These emulsions are made by sauteing or sweating aromatic flavors (e.g., garlic, herbs, onions, mushrooms) in butter or other fat until the flavors become infused into the fat and make it richer and more concentrated.
The emulsion is then reduced in volume and is the basis of a variety of sauces. Stock, wine, milk, or cream are all liquids that can be added to the emulsion in order to thicken the sauce. It may be pureed in a blender or food mill, and then strained through a fine mesh strainer.
There are many different variations of the emulsion, but they all share similar ingredients. They are commonly accompanied by a reduction in volume to concentrate the flavor of the ingredients and a final simmer for an appropriate amount of time.
They are often topped with other sauces that complement the main ingredient. Such as a creamy hollandaise or rich brown butter. They can also used as a finishing sauce, such as for a grilled steak or as an emulsion that is drizzled over greens.
They might not be as easy to make as a burger or as impressive as a swanky restaurant meal, but they are an essential part of any chef’s arsenal. When paired with a charbroiled Angus patty, fries, cheese, and lettuce, they can elevate any quick lunch or dinner into something memorable.
3. The Fries
If you want to add some extra protein to your burger. Look no further than a thick burger with a fried egg. It might not sound like the most exciting burger you’ve ever eaten, but it will definitely keep you feeling full.
Hardee’s has been bringing back its iconic JALAPENO ANGUS THICK BURGER, which was delete from the menu in 2006. The burger is make with a charbroiled 1/3-pound Black Angus beef patty topped with sliced jalapeno peppers. Pepper jack cheese, red onions, and Santa Fe sauce on a seeded bun.
It is available at participating restaurants for $3.49 (by itself) or $5.78 for a medium combo meal. The price includes a small order of fries.
Carl’s Jr. is also bringing back its popular El Diablo Thickburger, which was last re-released in 2015. The El Diablo Thickburger is a charbroiling Angus patty stuffed with jalapeno poppers. Pepper-jack cheese, fiery habanero sauce, bacon strips and sliced jalapenos on a fresh-baked bun.
The burger is only available for one weekend at the Los Angeles location. But it will be back soon at other locations nationwide. The chain has a deal going on for the burger that includes small fries and a drink.
The calories of the burger are surprisingly high, at 3682 kilojoules per serving. That’s almost double the calorie count of the McDonald’s Mighty Angus. It has 59 grams of fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1570 milligrams of sodium, and 12 grams of sugar. The calories can make you feel bloated and uncomfortable, so it isn’t something you should get regularly.
4. The Cheese
One of my favorite things about the best JALAPENO ANGUS THICKB URGER is its cheese. This is a great way to add extra flavor to your burger without adding additional carbs or fats.
It’s a blend of pepper jack and American cheese with a hint of jalapeno. It’s make in the USA and tastes amazing on a burger.
This cheese is a great addition to any burger and it helps keep me satisfied for longer. It’s also more flavorful than a typical burger cheese.
Luckily, Hardees has a variety of different types of cheese that can used on their burgers and other menu items. They even have an entire cheese bar that you can choose from if you want something fancier.
These melty cheeses are a must-have on any burger. They make everything taste better!
I love to add this to my burgers when I’m feeling a little adventurous. It adds a bit of heat to my otherwise bland burger.
If you’re not a fan of the jalapeno flavor. You can use cheddar or Swiss cheese for a more mild patty. This will help cut down on the spice and still get you the flavor you’re looking for.
It’s important to note that this is a big burger and is not an ideal keto meal. It contains 3682 kilojoules, 59 grams of fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1570 milligrams of sodium, and 12 grams of sugar.
5. The Lettuce
This is one of those things that’s not a huge thing to me, but it’s something that keeps me going. We love lettuce and sometimes when I get a burger. I want to eat some iceberg or lettuce that’s been add to it.
I also really enjoy a good, fatty burger and this burger is incredibly fatty. It has 3682 kilojoules, 59 grams of fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1570 milligrams of sodium, 12 grams of sugar, and 28 grams of protein per bun.
If you’re trying to go keto, a burger like this can be a bit much to eat. A serving of fries has 31 grams of carbs and a small box of onion rings has 39 grams of carbohydrates. So you have to be careful not to have too much.
