PEANUT BUTTER & JAM BACON SRIRACHA BURGERS - Pack in some Protein with this sweet, salty and spi

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE BURGER PATTIES:

1 1/2 lbs . of medium ground beef

3 slices bacon cooked very slightly then chopped small

2 tbsp . Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter

2 tbsp . sriracha sauce

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

4 tbsp . Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter (this is a minimum to start with you can add more)

1-2 tbsp . of your favorite sriracha sauce

4 tbsp . strawberry jam

8 slices of bacon cooked until slightly crispy

Lettuce for four (4) burgers

4 hamburger buns of your choice

INSTRUCTIONS

- Combine the patty ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Divide into 4 equal portions (this will be about 6 ounces each) and flatten into patties that are approximately 1/2 inch thick. Press a small round crater into the top of each burger with the back of a spoon (this helps them cook flatter, as you don’t want to press on them while they are grilling).

- If you can, grill the burgers on the BBQ for the best results, 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

- Alternatively, you can cook the patties in a pan on the stove-top for 4-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

- Mix the peanut butter and sriracha together in a small bowl to taste. Build your burgers by placing the patty on the bottom of the bun, then placing a tablespoon or so of the peanut butter/sriracha sauce on top of the hot burger. You want the peanut butter hot and gooey! Spread a tablespoon of strawberry jam on top. Top with lettuce and the top of the bun.
