Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 lb ground chuck
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Butter or margarine
• 5 hamburger buns

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Patties:

   • In a large bowl, lightly mix together the creamy peanut butter, ground chuck, salt, and pepper using a fork. Be careful not to overmix; you want the ingredients to just come together.
   • Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions, shaping each into a patty of about 1/2 cup in size. Gently flatten each patty to your desired thickness.

2. Cook the Patties:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or margarine to prevent sticking.
   • Once the skillet is hot, carefully arrange the patties in the pan, making sure they are not overlapping.
   • Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Make sure to flip them only once to ensure a nice sear on each side.

3. Assemble the Burgers:

   • While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
   • Once the burgers are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
   • To assemble the burgers, place each cooked patty on a toasted bun, and add your favorite toppings and condiments, such as lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mustard, or ketchup.
   • Serve the peanut butter burgers hot and enjoy the unique and delicious flavor combination!
