Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, as preferred)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 8 pieces Pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until everything is evenly incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about ¾-inch thick, making a slight dimple in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly butter the insides of the burger buns. Toast the buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Adjust the amount of peanut butter to suit your taste.
Assemble the burger by placing the cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the peanut butter. Add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and two pickle slices to each burger.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the toppings. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a salad.
