Ingredients
Burger Patties
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 lean ratio recommended
- 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- 4 burger buns toasted
- lettuce leaves
- tomato slices
- onion slices
- optional toppings (e.g., pickles, cheese)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, peanut butter, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties, about 0.75 inches thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Heat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.
- Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired internal temperature.
- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast your burger buns.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and any other desired toppings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the burger mixture. If you prefer a spicier peanut butter, use a natural peanut butter with a touch of chili.
