I love lamb burgers, so I created a crowd-friendly slider version. The tzatziki sauce is best made a day or two in advance to allow the flavors to mingle. -Cristina Certano, Colorado Springs, Colorado

These sliders were a huge hit at my party! Everyone loved them. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the tzatziki sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again for my next party.

I would not recommend this recipe. The lamb was tough and the tzatziki sauce was too garlicky. I was very disappointed.

I thought these sliders were just okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the tzatziki sauce was a bit bland. I would not make them again.

These sliders were a bit dry, but the tzatziki sauce helped to balance it out. I would recommend adding a bit more moisture to the lamb next time.

I love the combination of flavors in these sliders. The lamb is juicy and flavorful, and the tzatziki sauce is creamy and tangy. The pita bread is the perfect vessel for all of these flavors.
