This post isn’t a recipe about how to make the perfect burger. This is about toppings on a burger.
Forget about ketchup, mustard & pickles. Let’s talk peanut butter, bacon and pineapple. You heard me right.
I think I have made it clear that I love food. All kinds of food, but there is one thing that holds a special place in my heart and that is the hamburger. There is nothing better than digging in to a juicy hamburger on a toasted bun. For a long time my favorite burger had blue cheese crumbles and sautéed mushrooms, but when Obed and I lived in Tulsa our favorite burger joint was Fat Guys. Perfect name for a burger joint, right? Anyways, on Wednesday nights they have $4 peanut butter and bacon burgers. You heard me right, peanut butter and bacon! I had never had a peanut butter and bacon burger and I thought I would give it a try. Then the girl behind the counter asked me if I wanted it Thai style. “Sure, what the heck!”
My universe has been forever altered. Why didn’t I think of this sooner!? Hands down without a doubt this is the best burger EVER!!!
EVER PEOPLE!!! EVER!!!
Would you like one?
Start with a toasted bun and a squirt of sriracha on the top and bottom. It’s up to you how much and how hot you want it.
For this burger I like the thin patties.
Put a burger patty on the bun while still warm drop a heaping dollop of peanut butter on top of the patty.
Lay two pieces of crispy bacon on the peanut butter.
Ohhhh yeahh!
Then comes the grilled pineapple.
Hello lover! How you duen?
Lay another thin warm burger patty on top of the pineapple, sandwiching everything between the two patties.
Top with fresh cilantro leaves.
Your burger masterpiece is complete!
This burger will blow your socks off, I promise! It has an eye rolling combination of sweet, spice and nuttiness. Not to mention the crispy bacon. Do you see that peanut butter oozing out and basting the patty? I know you are thinking I have lost my mind and your right! I have lost my mind over the AWESOMENESS of this burger!
If you have doubts about this freaking awesome burger just think pad thai or any Asian dish that uses peanuts and then add bacon. Bacon does make everything better after all!
I LOVE YOU peanut butter, bacon, pineapple, spicy, juicy goodness! Don’t ever leave me! Because I will cry and scourer the Earth to find you.
What am I talking about, it’s a burger. I will just make and so should you.

Just watched an episode of Crazy Delicious on Netflix and one of the girls made an “Elvis” dessert burger and now I find this!? It’s on! Can’t wait!

We are doing this tonight!: WW Bun, Burger, PB, Bacon, and Cowboy Candy (my homemade candied jalepenos!)
Can NOT wait!

This sounds so so good. I’m not a huge pineapple fan, but I’ll bet all the flavors work together very well. Now if only we had a grill. Maybe I’ll have to convince my (grill-owning) sister to make me some. 😀

Tell her you will gift her the knowledge of the most amazing burger and she just might. 😉

I will have to try this. It sounds great. Flaming Joes has a burger with peanut butter, jalapeño jelly and pepper Jack that I love. This should be equally good.
Meseidy says
Oh my heavens! That does sound tasty!
Tammy says
OH. MY. GOODNESS……AMEN.

You had me at peanut butter and bacon!
Bibi says
Has anyone tried this with grilled chicken?? I wanna ! 🙂
Meseidy says
I haven’t, but it sounds like a clever idea.
GiGi says
I plan to “Paleo up” this a bit – switch the peanut butter for almond butter and the toasted bun for lettuce wraps. I can hardly wait to give it a go!
Sean says
You fogot the Jalapenos!!!!
Joanne T Ferguson says
G’day! I JUST finished lunch, true!
Yet I could go for a mini-sized burger of your recipe and your photos are wonderful too!
Cheers! Joanne

OMG! My mouth is watering!
Chris says
Pinned the bleep out of this post. It sounds wrong off the top but when I think about the Thai flavor profiles, it sounds so right.
Meseidy says
Trust me it will change your life!!
Sofia says
Not a peanut butter lover, but a definite burger lover… I will give this a try this summer… expand my burger taste buds! 😉
