Lamb Smashed Burgers

Summer flavors perfect for relaxed, outdoor dining! These mouthwatering lamb burgers are best cooked on a searing hot griddle, smashed flat with a burger press and served with the lovely topping sauce of Epic Spice Lamb Rub!

If you have Lamb Rub topping sauce over, place in the cooling and use as a dipping sauce with vegetables or a good grilled sourdough bread the day after!
