Chili-Topped Macaroni Meals

Wienerschnitzel Just Added New Chili Cheese Mac ‘n Cheese

— April 2, 2023 — Lifestyle
Wienerschnitzel may be best known for its hot dogs, but now the chain is homing to become your go-to destination for another classic comfort food with the addition of new Chili Cheese Mac ‘n Cheese.

Wienerschnitzel and its sister brand Hamburger Stand recently launched new Mac ‘n Cheese in delicious two varieties: Classic and Chili Cheese. The original Classic Mac ‘n Cheese consists of a timeless combination of macaroni noodles coated in a rich cheese sauce. The new Chili Cheese Mac ‘n Cheese then takes this delicious macaroni and cheese base and tops it with Wienerschnitzel’s signature, secret recipe Chili Sauce, along with even more shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Both varieties of Mac ‘n Cheese are available now from Wienerschnitzel and Hamburger Stand locations.
