The burger starts off with two 100% beef patties topped with a Jalapeño Ranch and Jalapeño Cream Cheese to give it a touch of satisfying spiciness. The burger is paired with aged cheddar cheese along with bacon and additional slices of jalapeño to provide a touch of fresh spiciness. The burger comes served on a toasted bun. The Whataburger Bacon Blaze Jalapeño Double is available now at participating locations but will only be on offer for a limited time. The burger responds to the popularity of spicy food varieties, particularly within the QSR space.
