Lamb and Beef Sliders with Garlic Mayo

Shake up your ho-hum burgers by trying this flavorful combo. Combine 1 lb. 85/15 organic beef with 1 lb. ground lamb. Add ½ of an onion, diced, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and some ground black pepper. Lightly mix without overworking meat. Measure out about 3 oz. of the meat mixture for each burger, and form into slider-size patties. Before grilling, drizzle with olive oil, and add a good sprinkle more of kosher salt to each burger.

Grill burgers about 4 minutes on one side. Flip, and add sliced sharp cheddar cheese. Grill for about 3 minutes longer. Serve with mayo, mixed with some lemon zest, minced garlic, and kosher salt. Top sliders with spring mix or other dark, leafy greens.
