This PB&J Burger takes your backyard grilling game to the next level. Made with juicy 90/10 ground beef, crispy bacon, melty American cheese, and a bold spread of peanut butter and strawberry jelly, this burger hits all the sweet, salty, spicy notes. Grilled on a Masterbuilt at high heat and topped with jalapeño for a fiery twist, it's the perfect mashup of comfort food and gourmet creativity.

Why It’s Great on the Masterbuilt Grill

The Masterbuilt Gravity Series Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker provides consistent high heat and precise control, perfect for achieving a caramelized crust on the burger while locking in juices. The versatility of the grill also makes it easy to toast the bun with bacon grease and sauté toppings—all in one spot.

Instructions


  1. 01

    Fire up your Masterbuilt grill and preheat to 450°F.

    Grill or pan-fry 3 slices of bacon until crispy. Set aside and reserve the bacon grease for toasting the burger bun.

  3. 03

    Loosely form 1 lb of ground beef into a burger patty. Avoid overpacking to keep the patty juicy and tender.

  4. 04

    Season the patty with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill over direct heat for 2–3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.

  5. 05

    During the last minute of cooking, add American cheese to the burger and allow it to melt.

  6. 06

    Toast the sesame bun in the reserved bacon grease for extra flavor and crunch.

  7. 07

    Spread peanut butter on the bottom bun and strawberry jelly on the top bun. Add the grilled burger patty, bacon, and sliced jalapeños in between.

  8. 08

    Serve hot and enjoy this bold and flavorful PB&J twist on the classic cheeseburger!

MASTER IT.
