The flavour was initially released as a limited edition back in April in Aldi's middle aisles.
But after disappearing from shelves for a short time, it's now coming back again on Sunday.
The packs cost £1.25 for 130g.
They are also gluten free and vegan.
Foodies spotted the crisps on shelves back in April, with some saying they were "very nice".
One person commented: "It seems just when Walkers discontinue their range or flavours, Seabrook just bring out more choice."
Popular Instagram reviewer John's Snack Reviews posted a review of the crisps previously, saying they tasted "like a big mac without the gerkin".
He added: "It's got that musky chargrill with hints of beef along with the big mac burger flavour."
At the time, Seabrook also brought out another flavour called Spicy Mexican Taco.
It said both flavours were limited edition so "they won't be around for too long".

The Sizzlin' Steak Burger flavour could be a good dupe for McCoy's iconic Flame Grilled Steak crisps.
You can get a multipack of six of these for £1.74 at Asda or currently £1.75 at Waitrose.
Elsewhere they're £2.35 at Morrisons or Ocado.
Reviewers say the McCoy version is "truly a household favourite" and "so delicious and moreish".
Seabrook recently brought back another iconic flavour that rivalled a Walkers classic.
The crinkle cut Tomato Ketchup crisps are available in Morrisons, where shoppers can pick up packs of six 25g bags for £1.45.
The supermarket launched the limited-edition crisps in stores on May 19.
They are similar to Walkers' Heinz Tomato Ketchup bags, which were confirmed as re-launched in March after being axed in 2023.

Canada's Imperial Oil posts lower quarterly profit; announces first production from renewable diesel plant
Aug 1 (Reuters) - Canadian oil producer Imperial Oil ( opens new tab posted lower second-quarter profit on Friday, hurt by weaker crude prices and a decline in refinery throughput. The Calgary, Alberta-based company — which is majority-owned by U.S. oil and gas major ExxonMobil (XOM.N), opens new tab — also announced the first production of renewable diesel from its new Strathcona plant near Edmonton, Alberta. On a conference call with analysts, Imperial CEO John Whelan said the company completed construction and commissioning of the Strathcona facility, which is the largest renewable diesel plant in Canada, during the second quarter. The C$720-million facility will use vegetable and agricultural oils as feedstock to produce lower-emission fuels for Canada's transportation sector. The facility was designed to have the capacity to process more than 1 billion litres of renewable diesel annually, but Whelan said production levels will depend on supplier capabilities as the facility ramps up. At the time of the project's announcement in 2021, Imperial said it planned to source "blue hydrogen," or hydrogen produced from natural gas using carbon capture and storage, for use at the facility. While the company has sufficient "grey hydrogen" — which is produced from natural gas without the use of carbon capture and storage, resulting in higher greenhouse gas emissions — to start up and operate the facility, longer-term hydrogen supplies are uncertain. "The viability of further hydrogen supplies and blue hydrogen will impact the speed of the ramp-up of the asset," Whelan said. Benchmark Brent crude prices were lower during the April-June quarter compared to a year earlier, pressured by weak global demand, market volatility due to tariffs, and increased oil supply from OPEC+. Imperial said its net income fell to C$949 million ($684.31 million), or C$1.86 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, from C$1.13 billion, or C$2.11 per share, a year earlier. Imperial's total throughput volumes, or the amount of crude processed, fell to 376,000 barrels per day during the second quarter, from 387,000 bpd a year ago. The company's total refinery utilization stood at 87%, down from 89% in the same quarter last year. Upstream production for the April-June quarter was 427,000 gross barrels of oil equivalent per day, higher than the 404,000 gross boepd a year earlier. ($1 = 1.3868 Canadian dollars)

US payrolls revisions jolt markets, making Fed look behind the curve
NEW YORK, Aug 1 (Reuters) - News of a surprise weakening in the U.S. labor market last month jolted investors on Friday, as hefty revisions to past months raised fears the Federal Reserve may have been flying blind in recent months and may need to play catch-up with interest rate cuts. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 73,000 jobs in July after rising by a downwardly revised 14,000 in June, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its employment report on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls increasing by 110,000 jobs after rising by a previously reported 147,000 in June. The report comes two days after the U.S. central bank left unchanged its benchmark interest rate and avoided signaling imminent rate cuts, dialing back market expectations for an easing at the next policy meeting in September. That changed dramatically on Friday, with odds for a 25 basis point cut in September jumping to around 81% after the data from 38% on Thursday, according to CME Group data. "The Fed's job is becoming increasingly difficult based on the deterioration of the economic data," said Matthew Miskin, co-chief investment strategist at Manulife John Hancock Investments. "These revisions are massive and really are a game changer to the Fed's reaction function, and so I think this Fed meeting is one that they'd like to revise." Revisions for May and June came in well above the norm, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. It gave no reason for the revised data but noted that "monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors." May's nonfarm payroll gain was slashed by 125,000, from 144,000 to just 19,000, while June's downward revision was by 133,000. In total, employment over the two months is now 258,000 lower than initially reported. "It is painfully obvious that the U.S. government has an improper model for payroll calculations," said Michael Green, portfolio manager at Simplify Asset Management. "If you don't have reliable data, you make bad policy." Spencer Hakimian, founder of macro hedge fund Tolou Capital Management, said layoffs across several government departments, part of U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to reduce wasteful government spending, have prompted him to rely more heavily on alternative measures of economic strength than just government data, such as credit card data, and data from Truflation, an independent inflation index alternative to official government inflation measures. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a press conference on Wednesday the labor market remained strong, and that the central bank was still in the early stages of grasping how Trump's overhaul of import taxes and other policy shifts would play out for inflation, employment, and economic growth. "Had those figures been the initial prints a month or two ago it would have significantly changed the labor market narrative over the entire summer," said Adam Hetts, global head of multi-asset and portfolio manager at Janus Henderson Investors, in a note. Treasury yields, which move inversely to bond prices, dropped after the data, with benchmark 10-year yields down by a whopping 15 basis points in mid-morning trade at 4.251% from about 4.4% before the data was published - their biggest daily drop since April. Two-year yields were down by about 20 basis points to 3.753% from 3.951% earlier on Friday, registering their biggest daily decline since August last year. Stocks declined too, also weighed on by Trump's latest tariffs salvo. The benchmark S&P 500 index .(.SPX), opens new tab was down 1.5% in late morning trade, bringing stocks to their lowest since early July. The deterioration in the labor picture comes amid steep U.S. tariffs on large trade partners that - while not as high as feared earlier this year - are still largely expected to worsen inflation and slow economic activity. "With job creation at stall-speed levels and the tariff headwind lying ahead, there's a strong possibility of a negative payroll print in the coming months which may conjure up fears of a recession," said Jeff Schulze, head of economic and market strategy at ClearBridge Investments.

Aldi brings back sell-out middle aisle item that will save you £100s on energy bills – and it's perfect for families
AISLE TAKE IT Aldi brings back sell-out middle aisle item that will save you £100s on energy bills – and it's perfect for families ALDI shoppers rejoice as the bargain retailer brings back an energy-saving hero that promises to save you serious cash on your bills. The Ambiano Duel Zone Air Fryer was a huge hit in 2024, and now it's made a return to the middle aisle. Advertisement 2 It features a large drawer, which can be divided into two separate chambers Credit: Aldi Perfect for families and simple cooking, the kitchen gadget is just £59.99. It features a large drawer, which can be divided into two separate chambers - making cooking multiple things a doddle. It also has a 24h digital timer and offers temperatures of 40C to 200C. If you're worried a cheaper frier might not last as long as one of the well known brands like Ninja - don't stress as it comes with three years' warranty. Advertisement Aldi is also selling Crofton Air Fryer Accessories for just £3.49 each. Customers can choose from silicone air fryer basket liners, separators, potholders, tongs and more. It's no secret that energy bills have been burning a hole in the pockets of millions across the UK. The humble air fryer isn't just loved for its speed and convinence, experts also say it can trim a noticable chunk off your electricity bill. Advertisement Unlike traditional ovens, which can take up to 10 minutes to preheat and often stay on for upwards of an hour, air fryers heat up in seconds and cook meals far more quickly. Independent energy tests have shown that air fryers use significantly less electricity – in some cases, up to 50 percent less – depending on the size of the appliance and the type of food being cooked. Modern air fryers can handle everything from roast chicken to baked potatoes – and they do it with less energy, less time, and often less fuss. Aldi's Ambiano Duel Zone Air Fryer is far friendlier on your budget as it's just a fraction of the price of leading brand air fryers. Advertisement Ninja Foodi Dual Zone is £199 in John Lewis, and the Philips FlexDrawer is around £159. 2 Aldi's Ambiano Duel Zone Air Fryer is far friendlier on your budget Credit: Getty Images - Getty New stock lands in Aldi's middle aisle, or Specialbuys section, twice a week (Thursdays and Sundays), and once it's gone, it's gone. The savviest shoppers know to check the Aldi website ahead of time, where you can preview what's coming up – and even snap up some bargains early online. Advertisement Get there early in store, because the best bits go fast, especially when it's BBQ season or the annual ski gear drop. As well as kitchen toys, the retailer is currently flogging copycat products of high-end makeup and skincare brands Charlotte Tilbury and Elemis. One of those is Lacura Marine Facial oil - a dupe of Elemis' pro-collagen marine oil, which is currently on sale on its website for a whopping £72. The luxury oil aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with marine ingredients. Advertisement And Aldi's version aims to do the same by using algae extract and golden seaweed. It's not the only dupe from the line. The supermarket is also launching a marine mask, £6.99, and a marine moisturising essence, which are again very similar to pricier Elemis products.
