PB & J=Peanut Butter and Bacon Jam make this burger an all out hit!
Ingredients You'll Need
1 pound ground hamburger (80/20 mix)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs oil
4 Tbs peanut butter 1 Tbs per burger
1/4 cup jalapenos from jar
4 Tbs bacon jam
1/2 cup shredded colby jack cheese divided over 4 burgers
lettuce & tomato for garnish
4 hamburger buns
1 Tbs butter
Directions
Mix the ground beef, pepper, salt and garlic powder and shape into 4 patties.
To use the bowl method: Place burgers in skillet with a small amount of oil and cook without the bowl over it for 3 minutes. Cover with a bowl as shown below and cook for another 5 minutes.
Using a spatula flip up the side of the bowl then use tongs to take it off completely. Do not touch the bowl, it is hot! Flip burgers and let cook for 3 minutes. Using the tongs place the bowl back over and cook for another 5 minutes.
Using the same technique as before flip the bowl off, add the shredded cheese equally over the burgers and return the bowl one last time. Cook finally for another 2-3 minutes to melt cheese then remove them from the pan.
Toast the bun with a little butter then assemble the burger. Spread the peanut butter on the bottom, burger, jalapenos and bacon jam. Add lettuce and tomatoes if you wish. Enjoy!
