Zesty Cheese Sauce Burgers

Sonic's New Queso Burger Features Hatch Green Chiles

Though the pandemic may have closed fast food dining rooms, that hasn't stopped Sonic from rolling out innovative products like the new Queso Burger.

Sonic's new Queso Burger is a cheesy creation with just the right amount of spice. The new burger starts with a 100% pure beef patty that's topped with a melty cheddar and zesty queso cheese sauce. The burger also features Hatch Green Chiles, grilled onions, and a touch of creamy mayo on a toasted bakery bun. According to Sonic, the pairing of melted cheese with the smoky flavor of real Hatch Green Chiles delivers "that elusive, satisfying umami in an irresistible burger."

The new Queso Burger can be found at participating Sonic locations nationwide for a limited time.
