DUBLIN, Ohio, Nov. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- While the time of year for giving and thanking is upon us, there's always a reason to treat yourself to a little indulgence. Cheeseburger lovers can once again "high–five" their taste buds with the return of Wendy's® Bacon Portabella Melt on Brioche – a shamelessly decadent, mushroom-abundant, juicy cheeseburger on a premium toasted bun – that's back for a limited-time.

The return of Wendy's Bacon Portabella Melt on Brioche is giving a reason to treat yourself to a little indulgence. Available for a limited-time, each Wendy's Bacon Portabella Melt on Brioche features a hot quarter-pound of fresh, never-frozen North American beef hamburger patty, savory sauted portabella mushrooms, a slice of American cheese and crisp, thick-cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, all drenched in a rich, warm cheddar cheese sauce and served on a toasted brioche bun.

"Life should be full of little rewards, and consumers really love this crave-worthy one," said Liz Geraghty, Wendy's Vice President, Brand Marketing. "Wendy's Bacon Portabella Melt on Brioche is one of those cheeseburgers that will take your dining experience to the next level – a warm, rich reward you know you deserve."
