Peanut Butter Bacon Sliders

This super simple recipe for peanut butter bacon sliders is, yes, an unusual combination of flavors, but I promise it will soon join your favorite burger list, especially if you are a peanut butter lover!

I know, I probably lost some of you right at the title of peanut butter bacon sliders, but I promise – promise!- that if you let me make my pitch you might reconsider.  So here goes.  Little bite-sized burgers, slathered with the sweet and creamy taste of your favorite peanut butter, topped with the salty, chewy heaven that is thick cut bacon, all held together by a pillowy soft slider roll.

Yes?  Do I have you just a teeny bit intrigued?  Then let’s make them!

If you are worried about the whole sweet peanut butter thing, I submit to you that ketchup – the traditional burger topping – is all kinds of sweet. And I’m SURE I don’t have to talk you into putting bacon on your burger.  I like to use thick cut bacon that is cooked up with a little brown sugar and black pepper to give it a little sass.

So once your burgers are cooked up to your liking, slather them with your favorite peanut butter (we like Skippy when I am not making my own) and a piece of that bacon, and I highly recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls – the dinner rolls are the perfect size – for these burgers.

If you try this burger experiment with me, I am 99.9999999999999% sure you will be a peanut butter and bacon burger convert.  Am I right?  Let me know in the comments!
