Last year Cheeburger Cheeburger arrived in our area. One of their toppings is peanut butter. I always wondered what peanut butter would taste like on a burger, but didn't want to be disappointed by not liking my meal when I ordered out. So during our challenge I thought that this would be the perfect time to experiment. During a google search I found the Elvis Burger. Tonight we used ground turkey to make the burger and it tasted great with peanut butter! A nice smooth flavor. The banana was overpowering. I think if we make this again I will slice 1 banana, carmelize it and just put a few pieces on the sandwich. I also tried to form the patties in more of a square shape since we were using bread. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground pork or turkey
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 ripe bananas
1T heart-healthy butter
2t brown sugar
8 slices thick sandwich bread (gluten-free, if need be)
bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat a pan on medium heat. Cut bananas in half and slice lengthwise. Add the butter to the pan to coat it. Place bananas, flat side down, in the pan and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Cook for 2 minutes and flip. Stir the bananas to get the remaining brown sugar and butter in the pan, and let cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until bananas are caramelized on both sides.
2. Form 4 patties from the ground meat, season with salt and pepper. Grill until well done or cook in a pan on medium heat, covered, for 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Spread 1T of peanut butter on a slice of bread, toasted first if preferred. Place burger on top, pile on 2 slices of banana and any additional toppings. Top with remaining slice of bread and consume. Yea, after one bite you’ll be all shook up.
