Overall a great recipe, I love the idea of cranberry cream cheese! I had a little trouble with mine, it melted almost immediately and became a bit of a runny mess rather than an enjoyable flavor, most of it ended up on my plate instead of in my mouth! Maybe next time I'll let the patties rest a little longer before I plate the burgers and see if that helps. Since there are only two of us I had leftovers, so I used the remaining ingredients between a couple slices of Ciabatta bread - yum! Thanks for a great idea.
