Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.
- Cook the burger patties on the grill or skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is typically around 130°F).
- While the burgers are cooking, in a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.
- Spread a generous amount of peanut butter on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Place a cooked burger patty on top of the peanut butter, then layer with a slice of fresh tomato, a crisp leaf of lettuce, and two slices of crispy bacon.
- Cover with the top half of the bun and enjoy your unique Peanut Butter Bacon Burger!
Tips
- For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef before forming the patties.
- If you're feeling adventurous, top your burger with pickles or jalapeños for a sweet and spicy contrast.
- Experiment with different peanut butter varieties; crunchy peanut butter adds an interesting texture.
