Sweet Heat Cream Cheese Burgers
Nothing like a good old fashion burger on the 4th of July. Am I right? Well folks this burger is anything but old fashioned. This burger takes a spin on jalapeno poppers, but mellows out some of that heat by using a sauce that combines marmalade and pineapple juice for a little sweet. Fireworks won’t be the only thing knocking the socks off your guests when you serve them up one of these patties!
