How to make Lucky Peach’s Lamb Burger with Cheese

1 answer

Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or American)
- Lettuce, tomato, and any other burger toppings of your choice
- Condiments such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard (optional)

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly incorporated into the lamb.

2. Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making sure they are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink while cooking.

3. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

4. Place the lamb patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Lamb is best cooked medium-rare to medium, but adjust the cooking time according to your preference.

5. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and allow it to melt.

6. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns either on the grill or in a toaster.

7. Assemble your lamb burgers by placing a patty on each bun bottom. Add your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, and any other condiments you prefer.

8. Cover the burgers with the bun tops and serve immediately. Enjoy your Lucky Peach-inspired lamb burgers with cheese!
