Ingredients
- 6 heaping tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 pounds ground beef sirloin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 soft hamburger buns, split
- Lettuce, sliced tomato and mayonnaise, for topping
Instructions
- Warm the peanut butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until loose, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; keep warm.
- Divide the meat into 6 loose balls, then gently flatten into thin patties. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the patties to the hot skillet, smash them flat with a spatula and season with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until the burgers are well done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in another skillet over high heat. Place the buns cut-side down in the hot skillet, press them down slightly with another skillet and toast until golden, about 2 minutes. Put the burgers on the bottom buns and spread each with 1 heaping tablespoon warm peanut butter. Top with lettuce and tomato. Spread mayonnaise on the cut side of each top bun, then put on top of the burgers.

Reviews
Love these! I made hundreds of them when I worked at the Wheel-Inn In Sedalia, Mo. growing up. They were made exactly as described here.
I love the recipe! I grew up eating these!
Well, I tried this recipe as a huge burger fan and I was not too fond of the Guberburger. It’s not that the recipe itself is bad, but this specific burger defiantly requires an acquired taste.So… be prepared to try something VERY different from the norm. (On the brighter side of things, some of the people I was serving did like the burger.
Loved them!! I also loved the technique of toasting the buns! Definitely worth trying people…live a little…try something new! Super easy to make.
