Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) 75/25 ground beef
  • 1 tsp (3g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1 banana, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 Tbsp (16g) brown sugar
  • 1.5 Tbsp (25g) peanut butter
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 hamburger bun

Directions

Bananas:

  1. To prepare the bananas for cooking, begin by peeling them. Cut each banana in half crosswise, and then slice each half lengthwise so that you have 4 pieces in total.
  2. Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray and place the banana pieces in the pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the bananas.
  3. Cook the bananas over medium heat for 5 minutes without flipping them. Once the 5 minutes are up, remove the pan from the heat and cover the top with a lid. Let the bananas sit while you cook the burgers.

Burger:

  1. Preheat your cast iron grill over  medium-high heat.
  2. Weigh your portion of ground beef and shape into a patty. Season both sides of the patty with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the patty on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  4. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese to the patty and let it melt.

Assembly:

  1. Toast buns.
  2. Place the bun heel on plate.
  3. Add the patty on top.
  4. Add bananas and bacon.
  5. Spread peanut butter over top bun.
  6. Finish with the top half of the bun.
