Recipe Tips

  • 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.

Serving Suggestions

You can also add other toppings to your burger that you enjoy. Some ideas include onions, tomato, lettuce and pickles.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How to Store Leftover Burgers

Store the burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If stored properly the burgers will last about 3-4 days. We recommend storing the burger toppings separate from the hamburger patties to keep everything fresh.
