The Best Lamb Burger
I know that I just posted a burger last week but while the grill is still hot, I thought that I’d share this recipe. Maybe you surprise a couple of friends with halloumi AND lamb burgers on one of these perfect late summer/early fall nights?
Straight and to the point, this is the best lamb burger. How do I know? Well, I googled “best lamb burger recipe” and The Best Lamb Burger Recipe from Tasting Table popped up. And then I made them and my family’s reponse? “These are the best lamb burgers!” Need I say more? Enjoy!
