Lamb Burgers

Change up your burger recipe for an easy weeknight meal.

Is anyone else out there tired? In need of easy recipes to stay on track?

Eat Happy Kitchen just participated in the Fancy Food Show in NYC, and it took every bit of the EHK team’s energy and focus.

With any fledgling company, if even 10% of the leads and interest we gained at this trade show pan out, we will be taking great strides to grow our company.

And with great strides comes inevitable fatigue.

And with fatigue comes the temptation to order take out.

I know that routine all too well…

So let’s have another delicious but easy burger recipe in the hopper.

Just remember to thaw some ground lamb earlier in the day, and you’ll be able to throw this one on the grill, no prob.

As with all of my burger recipes, you can use any ground meat you prefer, However, this recipe’s flavor profile really lends itself to the glory that is ground lamb.

Serve these burgers with the Cheesy Sprouts recipe I posted here.

Here’s a downloadable, printable PDF of Lamb Burgers.
