Recipe of the Week:
Cheat Day Peanut Butter Bacon Burgers
Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef sirloin
-
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
-
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
-
1 cup peanut butter
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
6 hamburger buns
-
2 tomatoes, sliced
Directions
- Mix ground beef, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl until evenly blended. Form beef mixture into 6 4-inch wide patties. Transfer patties to a large plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until patties are slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Cook beef patties on preheated grill until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over patties about a minute before they are done.
- Mix peanut butter and maple syrup in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat peanut butter mixture in the microwave until slightly runny, about 25 seconds. Stir again.
- Spread peanut butter mixture over hamburger buns and top with beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon.
