Meal No. 1424: Peanut Butter Bacon Burgers


For the Monday before Thanksgiving, I wanted to return to a fantastic and special Roediger House meal that first made its appearance during the Thanksgiving holidays of 2010. It is a ridiculous concoction and super souped-up hamburger, topped with two slices of cheese and homemade peanut butter and a bacon weave and homemade burger sauce. I made the burgers extra big that night and it was hard to actually finish them. Jeez Louise, though, they're amazing.

A review of key points about the Roediger House peanut butter bacon burgers:
  • Inspired by Yo Mama's in the French Quarter of New Orleans
  • First Made: Meal No. 180
  • Last Made: Meal No. 1375
  • Fresh Home-Ground Beef, typically from boneless beef short ribs and top sirloin
  • Homemade Peanut Butter
  • Homemade Classic Burger Sauce (recipe below)
  • Labeled Sample "Final Product" Burger: Guide to Meal No. 234
  • Some guidance, inspiration, and tips are based on Cook's Illustrated, No. 93 (July/August 2008), p. 10.
