How good do these Lamb Burgers look? My mouth is watering just writing this post!
Moist and juicy spiced lamb patties wrapped in bacon, then piled onto a burger stacked with haloumi, tomato and rocket, then drizzled with a yoghurt dressing that just elevates this burger to Next Level!
Don't you just love bacon? Somehow it manages to find it's way into a lot of my cooking, and with good reason. I never met a rasher I didn't love. It's a weekly staple in our house. I have told my husband Peter for years that he could probably be vegetarian if bacon was a vegetable.
Served of course with frozen pre-made chips!!! Sorry - we just like them, and they are soooo easy. And they are also Peter's department - which means one more thing I don't have to do. So it's a win/win. (For me anyway)
