Overloaded Texas Burgers

Carl's Jr.'s Texas BBQ Thickburger Does Everything Bigger

— October 29, 2014 — Lifestyle
This loaded Texas burger from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's is packed with barbecue sauce, a thick Angus beef patty, brisket, fried jalapeño peppers, cheese and strips of onion, definitely making it worthy of the name 'Texas BBQ Thickburger.' With this combination, it's almost like an entire BBQ meal has been condensed into burger form.

The contents of the Thickburger are packed between two freshly baked buns, which seem to be set quite far apart since there's so many ingredients packed onto the burger. The burger may be no easy feat to eat, so it's most likely best that you come with a big appetite in order to match the size of this monster of a burger.
