\"Jack<\/p>\n

A few thoughts popped into my head right before I was about to order Jack in the Box\u2019s Chili Cheeseburger.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is the chili just the seasoned meat in Jack\u2019s tacos?<\/li>\n
  2. Does the chili have beans?<\/li>\n
  3. Will there be a Twitter war between Jack in the Box and Wendy\u2019s because Wendy\u2019s tweeted Jack\u2019s chili must not be good since it isn\u2019t offered in a bowl, and then Jack retorted by tweeting Wendy\u2019s chili is made from old beef patties?<\/li>\n
  4. I should start going to sleep earlier.<\/li>\n
  5. Can I use Apple Pay in the drive-thru?<\/li>\n
  6. Should I get onion rings?<\/li>\n
  7. Is the drive-thru cashier upset because I\u2019ve been sitting here in front of the speaker without saying a word for about a minute? What about the four cars behind me?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jack\u2019s Chili Cheeseburger features a beef patty, two slices of cheese, a layer of beef chili, and onions on a bun. If you want something even beefier, there\u2019s a double version with two patties. <\/p>\n

    While it\u2019s being advertised as new, the internet tells me this is not the first time Jack has offered a chili-topped cheeseburger. So maybe the recipe was pulled out of the Jack in the Box vault, which I imagine is shaped like Jack\u2019s head and the combination dial is Jack\u2019s hat, while the lever to open it is Jack\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n

    \"Jack<\/p>\n

    The chili is bean-free, in case you were wondering, and, even though they look somewhat alike, I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s not the seasoned ground beef in Jack\u2019s tacos. What\u2019s on this burger is redder and they don\u2019t taste the same.<\/p>\n

    While it\u2019s never going to win a chili cook-off, the marquee ingredient in the burger tastes fine on its own and is even meatier thanks to the beef patty. But the elements that make this limited time menu item delectable are the chopped onions and cheese. The American cheese complements the chili\u2019s spices, while the onions not only enhance the chili with their pungent flavor, but also add some crunch to the mush-fest. <\/p>\n

    \"Jack<\/p>\n

    Oddly, even though the idea of topping a burger with chili sounds like a mess-fest, all of it stayed between the buns. Also, something to note, I ordered one for my wife and hers had noticeably less of the topping than mine.<\/p>\n

    While I’m not sure I’d order Jack\u2019s chili a la carte, if it was available that way, it does makes this cheeseburger surprisingly tasty.<\/p>\n
