I recently took a cooking class and made a very flavorful sauce that had a sweet and salty flavor that can only be described as umami. I decided to try to take the sauce to the next level by making it marinade for a cheeseburger. With the cheese and meat flavors, this recipe hits all the flavors of the tongue: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and most definitely, umami.

9. Set the timer to cook the burgers on medium for 12 minutes. For medium rare: 10 minutes.

10. After the timer sounds, put Kraft Singles on each hamburger. I took my marinade to the next level with the addition of American Cheese Kraft Singles. They melt so wonderfully and make the cheeseburger a picture of perfection.

  7. Sounds tasty… please please please tell anyone you make this burger for that there is peanut butter in it. Especially if bringing to a party or BBQ. It’s an unexpected format for a major food allergen, which can be a lethal combo.
