Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Bacon
- 0.25 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 2 units Brioche burger buns
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Red onion (sliced)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 units Lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, then cook the burger patties in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or until desired doneness is reached. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut side of each bun and placing them face down in a separate skillet or on the grill. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on the top half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with two slices of bacon, a few slices of red onion, and finally the bun top.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy this irresistible blend of flavors.
