Divide the ground beef into 4 patties, season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
- 2
Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and keep warm. Cook the onion in the bacon drippings, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes; sprinkle with sugar during frying if desired. Set the onion aside.
- 3
Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- 4
Open the hamburger buns and place them on a baking sheet with the cut sides up; toast under the broiler until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Set the buns aside.
- 5
Pan-fry the ground beef patties in the same skillet used for the onions until browned and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a slice of Cheddar cheese on each patty and let the cheese melt.
- 6
To assemble, spread peanut butter on the bottom halves of the buns; spread ketchup on the top halves. Top the peanut butter with pickle slices, the cooked onion, the burgers with cheese, a slice of bacon, several tomato slices, and about 1/4 cup shredded lettuce per sandwich.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
