- Butter or margarine
- 5 hamburger buns
Instructions:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
