On Thursday night, all alone in this great big house, I made a great big meal that is one of the very special dinner treats and I feel kind of selfish to have kept it all to myself this time: peanut butter bacon burgers. I don't often eat like that anymore, and my belly was overwhelmed and uncomfortably full...but that was one dadgummed delicious burger!
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 30th appearance:
- Inspired by Yo Mama's in the French Quarter of New Orleans
- First Made: Meal No. 180
- Last Made: Meal No. 2231
- 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.
