This uniquely delicious Peanut Butter Burger with juicy slices of bacon, a creamy burger sauce, pickles, and cheese will satisfy all your cravings. I have to say, this is my all-time favorite burger recipe. I first had a PB Burger at the Wagon Wheel Inn in Missouri growing up. It was called the Guberburger, and I can still remember it today!
