If you're the kind of person who thinks every burger should come with bacon, you'll definitely want to try [Sonic's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-bacon-double-stack) new Bacon Jam Cheeseburger.

Sonic has set the bar high by dubbing the new Bacon Jam Cheeseburger "a complete bacon experience like never before." This savory creation consists of a quarter-pound, 100% pure beef patty layered with slices of American cheese, [crispy bacon strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-stack-smash), and a sweet and savory bacon onion jam condiment. The burger is then topped with creamy mayo and mustard, and served on a [toasted brioche bun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbq-bacon-burger).

The new Bacon Jam Cheeseburger can be found at Sonic locations nationwide starting Monday, March 29, through until May 2, 2021, making it the perfect spring indulgence.
