Spicy Grilled Lamb Burgers

Spicy Grilled Lamb Burgers

My Mom sent this recipe to me, I had to try it. This is from Alan Hollister on www.allrecipes.com, click here to go to the original. My Mom's notes: "Very easy to substitute ingredients if you don't have all on hand. Can use 1/2 beef 1/2 lamb or all beef but I like all lamb best." I omitted the red pepper, completely forgot the vinegar, and added cinnamon. I used some fresh and some dried herbs. Came out great.
