Start with 1 pound of ground lamb from Wild Fork.

Add about 2 tablespoons of Greek seasoning and 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning to the lamb.

Mix the seasonings into the lamb by hand, breaking it up first.

Prepare a mixture of feta cheese and tzatziki sauce to use as a topping later.

Form the seasoned lamb into balls using an ice cream scoop for uniform size.

Heat the griddle and prepare to toast the burger buns when the burgers are almost done.

Use parchment paper between the burger and the smasher to prevent sticking.

Add a little oil to the griddle to prevent sticking and spread it out.

Place the lamb balls on the griddle, ensuring they are spaced out to avoid smushing together.

Smash the lamb balls down using the smasher, with parchment paper in between.

Season the smashed burgers with additional seasoning while they cook.

Flip the burgers once a crust has formed and add the feta and tzatziki mixture on top before finishing cooking.

Remove the burgers from the griddle and prepare for serving.
