Mini Lamb Burgers
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 8 sliders.
My husband loves this recipe for mini lamb burgers. They're great for a light dinner or a hearty appetizer. Ground lamb makes really flavorful sliders, but you can use ground beef if you prefer. —Evelyn Rothwell, Los Angeles, California
