But as you can see in the photos, the smoky sauce looks like mayonnaise or ranch dressing. Its tangy and smoky flavor makes it similar to a bacon-flavored ranch dressing, but it doesn&#8217;t have a strong flavor even though it&#8217;s on both buns.<\/p>\n<p>Is the sauce tasty enough that I&#8217;d want it on every McDonald&#8217;s burger? I&#8217;m not sure because I feel it&#8217;s there specifically to enhance the bacon&#8217;s flavor, much like the hot fudge in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2022\/11\/19\/mcdonalds-oreo-fudge-mcflurry-review\/\">new Oreo Fudge McFlurry<\/a> enhances the chocolatey cookie crumbles. So putting it in burgers that don&#8217;t have bacon might not work. Speaking of the pork, I loved biting into the slices I had in mine. They were thick, salty, meaty, slightly crispy, and, as I&#8217;ve experienced with the regular bacon Quarter Pounder, paired well with the beef patty. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-53924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mcdsmokyblt3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The lettuce was crunchy, somewhat green, and fell out from the burger like it was pretending to be in a Big Mac. As for the Roma tomatoes, two bright red slices added a slightly sweet and acidic bite. While eating the burger, I forgot two American slices were in it because my taste buds didn&#8217;t notice them. Instead, they ended up more focused on the bacon and smoky sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, McDonald&#8217;s Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder with Cheese is a tasty variation of its classic burger, and it successfully makes me think of a BLT. I do believe its name is more of a mouthful than the burger itself, but I guess I should be glad that it&#8217;s not the McDonald&#8217;s Smoky Bacon Lettuce Tomato Quarter Pounder with Pasteurized Process American Cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $7.99*<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> n\/a<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 770 calories, 51 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, 115 milligrams of cholesterol, 1410 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 36 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
