McDonald's bringing back 'everyone's favorite sandwich'

(WHTM) - McDonald's says "everyone’s favorite sandwich is back" on the menu nationwide.

Two years after its debut, McDonald's says the Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the Smoky BLT Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese will both be returning.

The sandwiches, which will be available for a limited time while supplies last, include a quarter-pound beef patty, American cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, tomato, shredded lettuce and a "special, smoky BLT sauce" on a toasted sesame seed bun.

"Get ready to experience a sweet and tangy, savory and garlicy sauce that has a lingering smokiness," said the McDonald's Menu Spotter.

The sandwiches will be available starting on July 10.

McDonald's officials have acknowledged that their customers want more value from the fast food restaurant as inflation pushes the cost of everything – including Big Macs – higher.

A recent fast food study found that McDonald's had the fifth highest average meal price at $7.57, a 22% increase over 2022 ($6.21). The most expensive was Five Guys, at $20.84, a 13.7% increase over the 2022 average.

In June, the company revealed details of its limited-time $5 Meal Deal, meant to offer diners a more affordable option.
