A peanut butter burger? Trust us, this quirky combination transforms your burger into a sweet and salty masterpiece.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 slices cheddar cheese
6 hamburger buns, split
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
12 slices cooked bacon strips

Directions

Form the beef into 6 patties. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
Grill, uncovered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 4-5 minutes on each side.
Remove from heat; top each burger with a slice of cheddar. Cover; let stand until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.
Spread peanut butter on bun tops. Place burgers onto buns; top with bacon, and the top bun.

Add a little sweetness to those grilled cheeseburgers by using creamy peanut butter as the condiment. Paired with ooey-gooey cheddar cheese and salty bacon strips, this trio creates the perfect balance of flavors. —Julie Andrews, Rockford, Michigan
