Interesting Facts

  • Cream cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor to the hamburgers, complementing the spiciness of the jalapenos.
  • Grating the onion helps to distribute the flavor more evenly throughout the burger mixture.
  • To make the burgers extra juicy, avoid pressing them down with a spatula while grilling to prevent the loss of natural juices.
