These juicy, flavorful burgers are made with lamb and beef. These burgers have been well-received even by lamb haters. The recipe can be doubled, and half the patties can be wrapped in wax paper and frozen for later consumption. It’s acceptable to grill frozen food; just increase the cooking time.

Excellent recipe! Sour added with the cheese makes it even yummier!!!
Great, creamy soup! I recommend seasoning it to taste, though. I felt like it could use some garlic and onion.
