3. Assemble the burgers. Spread peanut butter on buns, add patties, and top with bacon jam. Serve immediately.

Make-Ahead and Reheating Instructions

To Make-Ahead: If you don’t mind having them cold, go ahead and make them up to two days in advance. Wrap each burger individually and store them in the refrigerator for later. 

To Reheat: Remove the buns. Put the patties with the bacon jam on top of a plate. Microwave until warmed through. Toast the buns in the oven. Reassemble and enjoy.
