So it’s Sunday and football is on. What to have for lunch? Tired of grilling regular burgers and dogs? Why not take the burger experience to the next level and make grilled lamb burgers stuffed with goat cheese? Lamb has more flavor then a regular hamburger, and goat cheese compliments the lamb so perfectly. A nice juicy lamb burger with a bit of cooked onion and that rich creaminess that the goat cheese adds, this is guaranteed to take your burger experience to the next level. For mine, I take ground lamb and add some diced onion and some fresh crushed garlic. Season with some cumin, hickory smoked salt, onion powder, kosher salt and ground black pepper. I form the patty, then slice off a good amount of herbed goat cheese and put on top of the newly formed patty. I then fold the patty in half and reshape it so the goat cheese is now stuffed in the middle. Before putting onto the grill, rub a small amount of olive oil onto the patties. This will help them to cook, and also help keep the lamb from drying out. I like to add a bit of Worcestershire sauce to the burger while grilling, but don’t over do it, because this can cause flare ups. A few minutes on each side should do fine, as you do not want to overcook the lamb. You want it to remain juicy. Towards the end of the cooking time, I always add a bit more goat cheese to the top of the burger. You can never have too much! While your burgers are resting, take your buns and rub a bit of butter on them and put on the grill as well. Grilled buns will make the burgers stand out even more. Remove and eat. You will love these! You can find your inner foodie, and have a great day watching football too! Grill on football foodies!
