Hardee’s Just Launched Two Yummy New Menu Items

BBQ pulled pork and smoked sausage are hitting the Hardee’s menu this summer.

I love the smells of summer. Tropical suntan lotion, chlorine and salt water, the aroma of barbeque off the grill. Fast food restaurants tap into the summer fun every season, offering warm-weather-inspired menu additions designed to please the palate. This week, Hardee’s launched two new items on the menu, one for breakfast and one for lunch, and I can’t wait to taste them.

Hardee’s partnered with two companies for the new menu items. One is Clifty Farm, a Tennessee-based company dedicated to exceptional BBQ craftsmanship that utilizes its own proprietary curing, aging and smoking methods to produce the best quality meats. The other is Hillshire Farm, an American brand of meat products known for its smoked sausage and slow-roasted lunchmeat.

The first new item is the BBQ Pulled Pork Frisco, an elevated addition to its signature Frisco lineup. The Frisco is available for guests to try until August 19 and creates a unique “multi-layered” flavor experience with a savory combination of chargrilled Angus beef, slow-smoked pulled pork from Clifty Farm, melted American cheese, crispy onions, tangy pickles and Sweet Baby Ray’s® Sweet `n Spicy Barbecue Sauce, served on toasted sourdough bread. You can also order it as a breakfast sandwich, the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich with Ham or the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich with Bacon, which comes with a folded egg, American and Swiss cheese on toasted sourdough.

Smoked Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit

The next new item is the Smoked Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit, a limited-time-only return. “The biscuit sandwich features a flavorful Hillshire Farm smoked sausage link, paired with a folded egg and American cheese, all nestled between a Hardee’s famous Made from Scratch Biscuit,” the brand tells us. It is available until August 19.
