Notes
*Nutrition info is for the slider sized burgers
-
- Ground Beef: We like the 80/20 variety for maximum flavor, but you can use any ground beef you like (or even ground turkey!)
-
- Peanut Butter: We use smooth peanut butter for this recipe, but you can absolutely use chunky if that is your peanut butter fave.
-
- Rolls: If you are making these in slider form, you can usually find slider rolls right with the regular hamburger rolls in your supermarket. And if you can’t find ’em, get hot dog rolls and cut them up into thirds.
-
- Bacon: We like thick cut bacon for this recipe but again, any variety of bacon will work.
