How to make peanut butter burger:

• Step 3. Divide the ground beef. Form the ground beef into 6 patties.
• Step 4. Put the patties on the grill. Place on the grill over direct heat.  Season the patties with salt and pepper.
• Step 5. Cook the burgers. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the patties reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.  

• Step 6. Melt the peanut butter. Microwave the peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl on high for 30 seconds.  
• Step 7. Warm the burger buns before using. Place the hamburger buns on the grill for approximately 1 minute to toast the buns. Remove the buns.
• Step 8. Add cheese and burger to each bun. Top each of the bottom buns with a slice of the cheddar cheese and a cooked burger patty. 

• Step 9. Add the peanut butter sauce. Then spread the warmed peanut butter on top of the patties.  Top with 2 slices of the cooked bacon and the topped bun.

Tips for the Best Burger:

• Don’t over mix the ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix the beef or the burgers will be tough.  Just mix with your hands until just combined. 
• Use a meat thermometer. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the beef is cooked to a safe temperature before eating.  
• Direct heat. Place the burgers on direct heat when cooking.
• Don’t press the patties down while grilling. This will allow the juices to escape, and it will not be as juicy. So resist the urge to press the patties with your spatula while cooking.
• Allow the burgers to rest. Once you remove them from the grill, allow the patties to rest for 5 minutes.

Tips for peanut butter bacon burger:

• Cheese. We love the flavor of cheddar cheese but you can use any type you prefer. Sometimes, we also combine different types of cheese.
• Peanut Butter. Feel free to use any brand you love but make sure to get the creamy variety. It will spread easier on the burger.

The Best Beef for burgers

We used 85% lean ground beef to make the burgers. They are really delicious and not dry but also not too greasy.

The best buns for burgers

Try to use a good quality bun that will hold up to the toppings and peanut butter sauce without getting soggy.

Some ideas include:

• Sesame Seed Buns
• Potato Buns
• Pretzel Buns
• Brioche Buns
• Wheat Buns

While plain hamburger buns are fine, these options will hold up better and be more substantial. Just choose your favorite and enjoy this burger.
