Mama Carol's Lamb Burgers

My sweet Mom & Dad had Jason & I over for dinner last night and let me tell you something...Mama Carol tore it up in the kitchen. 

She cooked THE BEST lamb burgers I've ever had. They were awesome. 

After bragging sharing my picture of those delectable things, I talked her into writing up the recipe so I could share it with those who were interested. 

Here goes nothing...

Mama Carol's Lamb Burgers with Comeback/Feta Topping:

What you need:

2 lbs. of ground lamb (this made 5 patties-4 larger, 1 a little smaller)

For seasoning the lamb: 

**For each lb. of ground lamb add:**

¼ tsp. ground cumin

¾ tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. all spice

2 cloves of minced garlic

1 ½ tsp olive oil

Chopped, fresh rosemary to taste

Feta cheese crumbles

Comeback dressing of your choice (we used Crechales)

Hawaiian Burger Buns (large gourmet)

Optional toppings (we used:)

Bibb lettuce

Fresh tomato

Grilled onions

Sweet pickles

What you do:

Earlier in the afternoon, add in all the seasonings to the ground lamb, mix well. 

Once mixed up, shake in a bit more all spice & cumin. Let marinate in the fridge for about 4 hours prior. 

Form the burgers and put them on the grill. 

Grill for 6 minutes on each side—test for doneness. 

For the feta/comeback topping: just add your choice of comeback dressing atop the feta. 

Once the burgers are almost finished, add the feta mixture to the top while still on the grill for a few minutes. 

Mom also put the buns on the grill for a minute or two as well. 

Fix up your burgers, serve and enjoy!

As a side, we had baked, chopped sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and onion and it paired perfectly with the burgers. 

For dessert? A nice, juicy, summery, watermelon.
