Burgers!!

In? Ground lamb.

I'm serious. Half ground beef, half ground lamb.

Or ground brisket or heart, but these can be really intense. Some people find them to be too "beefy" flavored.

I like a little ground lamb mixed in with beef too, but more like a 1/4 -1/3. Parsley, pine nuts, garlic, allspice, salt and lemon... roll around a skewer...

I find grinding beef myself is much better than buying ground beef; cheaper too.

I buy any old hunk of beef, cut into 1" squares, put on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 min or so, then into food processor & pulse chop. Freezing helps from keeping the far from smearing and it comes out much nicer looking the regular hamburger; especially if you want to use in a sauce or chili...

I agree about grinding your own unless you really trust where the ground is coming from. I grind by hand with one of the Universal brand manual grinders because I personally don't care for the texture that the food processor creates. I tend to stick to specific cuts and grind in maybe 20% heart for all-beef grinds.

Typically I don't put anything in the meat because I want a burger, not a flattened sausage or meatloaf on a bun.

In other words, 'souvlaki'.
