Peanut Butter and Jelly Sliders

Hi, Friends!

Today I’ve partnered with The Peanut Institute to bring you these fan favorite tailgating foods! 

Today I’m sharing some fan favorite recipes that are perfect for your next tailgating or sporting event! Growing up in Nebraska, Saturdays typically revolve around food and football. Whether it’s attending the games or the parties before or after the game, tailgating really is a sport in and of itself!

When The Peanut Institute asked me about what peanut foods I might find at a tailgate in Nebraska, there were 2 foods that came to mind. Puppy Chow and Peanut Butter Burgers.

Puppy Chow really is a fan favorite considering it’s a sweet and crunchy mix that combines 2 of my favorite foods, chocolate and peanut butter! You can make it ahead of time and it travels well especially if you need a quick dessert to serve on a football Saturday!

Another local fan favorite and personal favorite are peanut butter burgers. Trust me, you haven’t lived unless you’ve had peanut butter on a burger. I remember the first time I had peanut butter on a burger was at a local bar & grill fairly close to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE. This place was a local dive bar and was known for it’s unique burgers. So, when I think of peanuts and fan favorites, using peanut butter on a burger is a must! This recipe is actually a peanut butter jelly slider with a twist. The slider bun is a pretzel bun and the meat used is 100% lean ground beef topped with chunky peanut butter, sharp white cheddar, bacon jam and lettuce.

Yes, the “jelly” is actually a bacon jam that compliments the peanut butter perfectly! I really love sliders as the serving size feels really satisfying and not over the top. Also, the combination of the pretzel bun with the chunky peanut butter and bacon jam is really fantastic.

Special thanks to Chef Brandon Harpster for helping develop these amazing sliders!

And that’s not all!
