Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Introduce New Burger with Bacon Jam

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's adds a new burger that should appeal to bacon lovers as it features the smoky goodness in three forms: bacon strips, crumbled bacon, and, a fast food first, bacon jam. They've named it the Bacon 3-Way Burger.

The bacon jam is made with bacon pieces, balsamic vinegar, caramelized onions, and molasses.

In addition to the three different types of bacon, the new, limited-time burger also includes a charbroiled beef patty, lettuce, tomato, and American cheese on a toasted brioche-style bun.

The Bacon 3-Way Burger can be found at participating Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurants nationwide. Prices start at $4.99 for a single patty, $5.49 for a double patty, and $5.49 for a 1/3 lb. Black Angus patty (prices may vary). It can also be had as part of a combo meal with fries and a drink starting at $6.99.
