Add a bit of sweet (onion jam), a hint of heat (red pepper flakes), and just a touch of the tang (balsamic), and you've got a flavor combination to beat the band. (Ever wonder where that phrase came from? We definitely do.) Add all this flavor, plus cheese, to a meaty burger and what have you got? A meal that's the bee's knees. (Wonder who came up with that one!)
