Meal No. 2677: Peanut Butter Bacon Burgers


Exactly a week ago, I found myself drawn back to the remarkable culinary monstrosity that is a repeat favorite and absolutely a classic of the Roediger House dinner table: peanut butter bacon burgers. Perhaps the poisonous combination of the essential cuts of beef I need being on sale, and a passing reference to them when Kristen and Mookie visited last weekend, is to be blamed for this indulgence that was denied to those who love them so...

I do like to offer a review of some key points about the Roediger House peanut butter bacon burgers, which this time comes on the occasion of their 31st appearance:

  • Inspired by Yo Mama's in the French Quarter of New Orleans
  • First Made: Meal No. 180
  • Last Made: Meal No. 2414
  • 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


Classic Burger Sauce
from Cook's Illustrated, July-August 2008, p. 11.
4 T mayonnaise
2 T ketchup
1 tsp sweet pickle relish
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.

Guidance on grinding, shaping, and cooking burgers from "Best Old-Fashioned Burgers," by J. Kenji Alt, in Cook's Illustrated, No. 93 (July/August 2008), p. 10-11.
