Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Lamb (80% lean, formed into 4 equal patties (4‑5 oz each))
• 1 tsp Granulated Garlic (Mrs. Dash granulated garlic or plain garlic powder)
• 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Spicy Jalapeño Seasoning (Salt‑free jalapeño seasoning for extra heat)
• 2 tbsp Avocado Oil (For greasing the griddle and drizzling on patties)
• 4 pieces Dave's Killer Bread 21 Whole Grains & Seeds Buns (Burger buns, sliced horizontally)
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (Spread on bottom bun)
• 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (For toasting buns)
• 4 slices Boar's Head Dill Creamy Havarti Cheese (One slice per burger, folded to avoid covering patty completely)

• 1/2 small Red Onion (Thin raw slice for garnish)
• 1 tsp Yellow Mustard (Spread on top bun)

Instructions

1. Form and Season Patties

   Divide the ground lamb into 4 equal portions (4‑5 oz each) and gently shape into flat patties about ¾‑inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with granulated garlic and Mrs. Dash spicy jalapeño seasoning, then lightly drizzle a little avocado oil on top.

   Time: PT5M

2. Preheat Griddle

   Turn the Blackstone Pro Series griddle to high heat (about 450°F) and let it heat up until the surface is sizzling hot. This usually takes 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 450°F

3. Oil the Griddle

   Using a paper towel or silicone brush, spread 2 tbsp avocado oil over the entire cooking surface. The oil should shimmer but not smoke heavily.

   Time: PT1M

4. Sear the First Side

   Place the seasoned lamb patties side‑down on the hot griddle. Press each patty lightly with the spatula for a few seconds to ensure contact. Cook for about 4 minutes without moving them.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: 450°F

5. Flip and Add Cheese

   Flip the patties, lower the heat to medium (≈350°F), and immediately place a slice of Havarti on each patty. Cook another 3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Toast the Buns

   While the burgers finish, spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the buns. Place them butter‑side‑down on the griddle and toast for about 2 minutes, until golden brown.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 350°F

7. Assemble the Burgers

   Spread ½ tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add a leaf of red leaf lettuce, place the cooked lamb patty with melted Havarti, top with a raw onion slice, a dab of mustard, then the top bun.

   Time: PT2M

8. Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately while hot. Pair with chips, a simple salad, or your favorite side.
