Hardee's Smoked Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit

This biscuit uses Hillshire Farm smoked sausage instead of the usual patty. A folded egg and melted American cheese go on top.

The smoked link gives it a firmer bite and a deeper, smoky taste than any other sausage biscuit on the board.

Three biscuits cost $4.29: this one, the Sausage & Egg and the Bacon Egg & Cheese.

This one is the biggest of the three. Per Hardee's nutrition guide, it weighs 228 grams and has 24g of protein. The other two weigh less and have 19g each.

If you want the most food for the money at that price, this is the pick.

It's also the heaviest of the three on nutrition: 710 calories, 49g of fat and 1,910mg of sodium.

Saturated fat hits 20g, a full Daily Value in one sandwich. That's worth knowing if you eat it often.

The combo costs about $7.49, so Hash Rounds and a drink add $3.20. The other two $4.29 biscuits add just $2.00 for the same sides.

Ordering a small Hash Rounds ($1.99) and a Rise and Shine Coffee ($1.89) on their own comes to $8.17, so the combo still wins if you want both.

If you only want coffee, skip the combo and save over $1.
