About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp fruit jelly
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 2 buns burger buns
- a pinch salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1Heat a skillet over medium‑high heat and add the olive oil.
- 2Season the ground beef with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then shape it into two thin patties about 1 cm thick.
- 3Place the patties in the hot skillet and smash them flat with a spatula; cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges become crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
- 4While the patties are cooking, fry the thick‑cut bacon slices in a separate pan over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain.
- 5When the patties are nearly done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt, about 30 seconds.
- 6Spread smooth peanut butter on the inner side of one half of each split bun, and spread your chosen fruit jelly on the inner side of the opposite half.
- 7Assemble the burger: place a cheesy patty on the peanut‑butter‑coated bun half, top with the crispy bacon slices, then close with the jelly‑coated bun half.
- 8Serve immediately while hot, optionally with a side of fries or a simple salad.
