Burger

  • 1 Lb Ground Lamb
  • 1 Lbs Ground Beef 80% lean / 20% fat
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tsp Dill
  • 1/2 Tsp Oregano
  • 4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Pepper

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 3/4 Cup Greek Yogurt 6oz
  • 1/2 Cup Cucumber peeled, seeded, diced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 Tsp Dill
  • 1/2 Tsp Oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 4 Hamburger Buns
  • 1 Tomato diced
  • 1 Red Onion thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Mix Tzatziki ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set in the fridge to keep cool.
  • Dice tomato and cut thin slices of the red onion and set aside.
  • Get your grill/pan/etc hot.
  • Mix meat ingredients together. Divide meat into 8oz (1/2 lb) portions (or you can use smaller 6oz portions). Flatten into patties that are about 1/2 inch larger than the buns.
  • Put a thumbprint in the middle of the patty so it doesn’t puff up when cooking.
  • Grill your burgers about 4min on the first side.
  • Flip burgers. Put the buns face down on the grill. Cook until you reach the correct temp (140F for medium), usually about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Top burger with tzatziki, onions and tomatoes and enjoy!
