Lamb burgers are a great way to switch up burger night at home. Change is good, y'all! Lamb has more of an earthy, gamey flavor than beef, and it's completely delicious paired with creamy goat cheese and deeply caramelized onions. If your burger night needs a little relief from the same old same old, give these a go.

Yield Makes 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

Caramelized onions:
1 tablespoon butter
1 large red onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup dark beer
Lamb burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup goat cheese
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 burger buns
4 tablespoons Spicy Herb Mayo
4 slices cooked bacon
1 cup baby arugula

Steps:

Make the onions:
In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and salt, toss to combine, and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring several times to ensure that the onion does not stick to the pan. Add the beer, stir, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. If the onion is deeply caramelized and the liquid has mostly evaporated, it's perfection. If not, cook for a few minutes more. Set aside.
Make the burgers:
In a large bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, and mint. Mix well. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the lamb mixture and divide the remaining lamb into four equal portions. Shape them into patties slightly larger than the width of the burger bun. Using your thumb, make a well in the center of each patty, going halfway through the lamb.
Divide the goat cheese into four portions and place them in the thumb divots. Flatten each tablespoon of reserved burger mixture into a disc and place on top of the goat cheese. Pinch the edges to encase the cheese in the lamb. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium doneness.
Place the burgers on the buns and top each with 1 tablespoon mayo, some caramelized onions, bacon, and 1/4 cup arugula.

GOAT CHEESE STUFFED LAMB BURGERS

Goat Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers image

I love making these flavorful lamb burgers stuffed with creamy, delicious goat cheese. I use basil and oregano in mine, but feel free to use your favorite herbs and spices, this recipe is very forgiving. Using fresh rosemary in the goat cheese filling will give the burgers a real Greek flavor. Serve the burgers on hamburger buns or pita bread with tzatziki sauce, or on their own with a Greek salad.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
2 pounds ground lamb
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 ounces soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Gently knead together the softened onions, lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 parts and roll into balls, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Mix together the goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined; cover and chill for 5 minutes.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Working with one portion of meat at a time, make an indentation in the center of the ball with your thumb. Fill the indentation with a heaping tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture. Gently pull and form the meat patty around the cheese filling, making a burger-shaped patty. Repeat with each ball of the lamb mixture.
Grill the patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and well done, about 8 minutes per side.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful lamb and goat cheese. Look for lamb that is grass-fed and free-range for the best flavor.
Season the lamb well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to flavor the lamb. This will help to create a juicy and flavorful burger.
Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb burgers are best when cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make the burgers dry and tough.
Use a good quality bun: The bun is an important part of any burger. Choose a bun that is soft and fluffy, and that can hold up to the juicy lamb burger.
Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for lamb burgers. Some popular choices include lettuce, tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese stuffed lamb burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can create juicy, flavorful burgers that everyone will love. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
