Make A Whataburger Grilled Cheese 10X Better By Ordering It Like A BLT

In case you forgot, you don't have to be a kid to order grilled cheese. The simple yet delicious sandwich is suitable for all ages craving a comforting meal. When visiting Whataburger, a popular Texas-based fast-food burger chain, you'll find a scrumptious grilled cheese option on the kids' menu for only $1.99, made with melty American cheese and toasted bread. However, adding a few key ingredients can upgrade this simple offering into a cheesy BLT.

That's right, you can order your Whataburger grilled cheese with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The bacon will cost $1.10 extra, while the lettuce and tomato come with no extra charge. These ingredients impart a crispy texture to the sandwich, with the veggies offering a refreshing twist. Additionally, mayonnaise can help cut through the sandwich's richness. Overall, the ingredients meld perfectly together, making for a heartier, more satisfying grilled cheese.

Depending on location, you can get this custom sammie for around $3. If you make it a meal with fries or onion rings and a drink, the total rises to a little over $5. Talk about an affordable and tasty meal! Request the add-ons at the drive-thru, in the restaurant, or simply select them when you order online or through the app.

According to customers, this Whataburger hack is worth the try, especially since most didn't realize grilled cheese was even on the menu. Several folks online have found ways to customize the sandwich even further. For instance, one Redditor recommends a slice of both Monterey and American cheese on top of two pieces of bacon and creamy pepper sauce. "SOOOO GOOODDDDD," the user concluded. Others suggested everything from jalapeño slices to grilled onions for a spicy, sweet addition. If you're looking for some tang, add pickle slices as well.

While you can score a grilled cheese at Whataburger with the easiest request — adding cheese to a side of Texas toast — the BLT hack is ultimately more filling. For those still loyal to the burgers at this Texas-born chain, no problem. Instead of ordering your hamburger with a regular bun, ask for two cheesy slices of Texas toast instead. It's a cheesy ordering trick we use to make Culver's burgers 10x better, but we think it'll work just as well at Whataburger, too. It can't hurt to ask!
