Welcome to a special edition of Man Monday!
What makes this Man Monday so special? Well, a few weeks ago Sarah and I were invited by Lipton to submit a burger recipe using their Lipton Onion Recipe Secrets packet. They were only going to pick a few recipes to represent them, so the competition was on! It took me a good while to figure out what I was going to do, and I know I’m a little biased, but can I just say that I came up with A SLAM DUNK RECIPE! Apparently, Lipton thought so too, because we were appointed Ambassadors in their Lipton Recipe Secrets Blogger Program.
Onion Jalapeño Shmear Burger
Makes 8 burgers
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1 Lipton Onion Recipe Secrets packet
- 12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 jalapeños, diced
- 8 hamburger buns
Directions:
- Separate beef into 8 even balls.
- Place each ball between two sheets of wax paper on a baking sheet.
- Lightly press to form patties into desired thickness. Don’t overwork the meat!
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Lift the wax paper and sprinkle both sides of meat with the salt mixture.
- Cover and let refrigerate for about an hour.
- Preheat grill to 400°F.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, each side.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine your Lipton’s Onion Recipe Secrets packet, cream cheese, and jalapeños.
- Assemble your hamburger with the desired condiments and toppings, making sure to spread a generous amount of your cream cheese mixture on top of the hamburger patty.
- Serve on toasted buns and enjoy!
We absolutely inhaled our burgers! To be completely honest, I’m really grateful Lipton gave us this opportunity because I never would have come up with this burger otherwise. This recipe will be one of my favorite burger recipes for years to come.

This burger looks absolutely delicious! I was thinking of adding some LED grill lights because I never seem to get home to grill while the sun is still out. What do you think? Do you have any lights?
