About the Bacon Double Cheese XL

The Burger King Bacon Double Cheese XL costs £7.99 and carries 910 kcal. Two flamed-grilled beef patties topped with Applewood smoked bacon and American cheese, all in our toasted sesame seed bun. It sits in the flame grilled burgers section of the UK menu, alongside 14 other items.

A single serving carries 63g of protein, which is 126 percent of a day's reference intake, 52g of fat, 24g of it saturated, 3.8g of salt, 63 percent of the 6g daily maximum, 8.2g of sugar. The salt is what makes this hard to pair, because most of what sits beside it on the menu adds more of the same.

At 316g the Bacon Double Cheese XL works out at roughly 288 kcal per 100g. That makes it about average for hot fast food, so the portion size is a fair guide to how filling it is.

Against the rest of the flame grilled burgers range it ranks 10 of 13 on price, so it sits toward the pricier end. That places it in the middle of a section spanning £1.49 to £8.79.

On calories it lands 262 kcal above the flame grilled burgers average of 648 kcal. If the count matters more than the craving, Texan BBQ Double Royale lands in the same place at 922 kcal.

The declared allergens are soya. It may also contain gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame through shared preparation, which matters more than the headline list if you are avoiding something strictly. The list is the brand's own, made against the fourteen allergens UK restaurants must declare. It describes the recipe rather than the branch, and branches differ.

Ordered as part of a meal, Double WHOPPER at £7.69 and BBQ Steakhouse Angus at £8.09 sit in the same section and are the obvious companions. The full menu price list shows what the whole order comes to, and the calorie calculator totals the nutrition as you add items.

How to Make a Bacon Double Cheese XL at Home

A home version of the Bacon Double Cheese XL comes down to two things: real charring heat and a patty you have barely touched. The build itself is straightforward once those are right.

Tips

  • Twenty percent fat is the floor. Anything leaner dries out over direct heat.
  • Lay the bacon flat across the patty rather than folding it, so every bite gets some.
  • Two thinner patties beat one thick one here. More surface means more char.
  • Season the outside only, and only just before it hits the heat. Salt worked into the mix turns the texture springy.
  • For reference, the counter portion weighs 316g and carries 910 kcal, which is the size to aim for rather than a guess.

Variations

  • Drop to a single patty for a lighter version.
  • Swap the beef for a plant based patty and use vegan mayonnaise throughout.

Serve it with fries and a pickle on the side rather than another salad.

Bacon Double Cheese XL Questions

A Bacon Double Cheese XL costs £7.99 at a standard Burger King restaurant in the UK. Prices differ by site rather than by city, so a branch inside a service station or an airport will ask for more than this for the same thing.

The Bacon Double Cheese XL contains 910 kcal, which is 46 percent of a 2,000 kcal day. UK guidance sets the adult average at 2,000 kcal for women and 2,500 for men, so judge it against the whole day rather than the meal.

It contains soya. It may also contain gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame through shared preparation. Burger King UK publishes that against the fourteen allergens UK law names. It describes the recipe, not the branch, so ask at the counter if it matters.

It carries 3.8g of salt. UK guidance sets the adult limit at 6g a day, so this is 63 percent of the daily maximum from one item. Sides and dips add to that faster than most people expect.

The standard order around it is fries and something cold. From the same section, Bacon Caesar Angus and Texan BBQ King are worth a look. The sides menu lists every side with its price and calorie count.

Most branches carry it, but the flame grilled burgers range is one of the areas where smaller sites cut back. The Burger King app shows the live menu once you select a restaurant, which is the only reliable way to check before travelling. The store locator lists every UK branch.
