peanut butter bacon grilled cheese

Hello! How was your weekend? We picked out our Christmas tree and got the house a little bit festive. First time to a u-cut tree farm!

Today’s recipe comes courtesy of my Secret Recipe Club assignment for the month The Hobo Kitchen… bites from a little kitchen in Hoboken. Ellie writes and shares fun and very comforting looking foods.  For this month I definitely picked something fun to make from her blog!

Time for a question. Have you ever been instantly intrigued about a food? I have. I remember hearing about a burger with peanut butter on it and just had to try it. I thought the idea was so crazy! Turns out it is delicious and I would eat it again in a flash.

Ellie shared a similar meal, but instead of a burger it was a grilled cheese with bacon and peanut butter. Intrigued? I was! Now I’m not saying it’s the healthiest meal.  At all. We’re topping high fat foods one on top of the other. I did have to serve mine up with a salad on the side because I knew my heart and stomach would thank me.

What was the verdict? Pretty dang good. I would definitely eat it again. I made one for my brother-in-law as well and he ate it and said it was ‘pretty good’ if I remember right, although he’s kind of hard to read. The peanut butter flavor comes through, and being a peanut butter obsessed person, I couldn’t help but be happy about that.

What do you think, would you try it? If you do, please let me know!
