Bell Beefer

What is it?

Seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and shredded cheese are tucked into a soft hamburger bun here, using the same taco-style beef Taco Bell put in its shells and burritos. It’s a handheld built more like a sloppy joe than a taco, with the bun soaking up the saucy filling instead of a tortilla doing the job. Compared with the rest of Taco Bell’s lineup, it sits in an odd middle ground between burger and taco. The fillings are familiar from other menu items, but the format changes the way you eat it, with the bun softening under the warm beef and the cold toppings staying separate on top.
