Arby's Jr. Bacon Cheddar Melt features pepper bacon, thinly-sliced roast beef, and warm cheddar cheese sauce on a junior sesame seed bun.
It's part of their
new Snack 'N Save value menu and I bought one for
$1.89.
This is basically a junior-sized Beef 'N Cheddar minus the onion roll and Red Ranch sauce but with the glorious(!) addition of pepper bacon.
Arby's pepper bacon occupies the upper rungs of the fast food ladder. It's crisp, smoky, and super tasty.
The tender, thin-sliced beef holds up well against the warm, creamy cheese and while there's a fair amount of salt here, the sesame bun does an admirable job blunting it.
Overall, while I'm not a huge fan of the classic Beef 'N Cheddar, I still like the Jr. Bacon Cheddar Melt because it includes Arby's delicious bacon and cuts out the stronger (and saltier) flavor of the Red Ranch sauce. Also, the proportions seems to work together better here. The price takes it out of what I'd consider "value" territory for what you get though.
