Love Me Tender Burgers

Elvis loved peanut butter on his burger--this burger has peanut butter mixed in with the ground beef, which gives the burger moisture and a subtle nutty flavor. These taste excellent with a coarse ground mustard for condiment.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
• 1⁄3 cup peanut butter
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1  yellow onion, grated
• 1  large egg
• 3  tablespoons  breadcrumbs
•  olive oil, for the pan
• 4  hamburger buns
• 4  slices tomatoes
• 4  romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, peanut butter, butter, onion, egg and bread crumbs and knead with your hands until well combined.
2. Make patties about 4 inches wide and ¾ inch thick. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the patties to set and the flavors to meld.
3. Grill the burger on an outdoor grill for best results, or fry in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked inside.
4. Serve with lettuce and tomato on a bun.
