About

It’s so weird, yet so good! We cannot explain why the flavors work, but they do. We were skeptical to try this one for ourselves, but it has only proven to inspire us to discover what else we can come up with combining ground beef and peanut butter.

Method

Cook the bacon

Turn the griddle on to medium heat (350°F [180°C]).
While the griddle is warming, place the strips of bacon on the griddle. (We have found that placing the bacon on the griddle before it is hot helps keep the bacon from curling too much.)
Cook the first side until browned and flip.
