Grilled Cheese-Inspired Burgers

Freddy's New Grilled Cheese Steakburger is Instant Comfort Food

— August 31, 2023 — Lifestyle
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is already known for its Steakburgers, but its new Grilled Cheese Steakburger really helps the brand live up to its name.

Making its debut alongside the returning Pumpkin Pie Concrete, the new Grilled Cheese Steakburger is a delicious cross between two classic American comfort foods. Each burger is cooked to order and made with two premium Freddy’s steakburger patties. These patties are grilled with four slices of American and Swiss cheese, and then paired with crispy Applewood bacon and a savory tomato spread on two buttery slices of Texas toast. As Laura Rueckel, Freddy's CMO, smartly sums it up, "The addition of our savory tomato spread creates a nostalgic flavor that is reminiscent of dipping grilled cheese into tomato soup."
