This favorite was created by my father-in-law years ago, then I added a few things of my own. Even my husband, who doesn't care for cream cheese, gobbles up these burgers. —Mary Rolando, Farmington, Illinois

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1 medium onion, finely chopped

Wonderful moist flavorful burgers. The pork adds a nice flavor with the beef. A keeper at my house.

Excellent! Cooked mine on a GF grill because I don't have a real one and they still tasted great!
