I like stuffed peppers using minced lamb.

No doubt good but I like them fine with ground beef.
I really love the taste of lamp cooked like a steak so
it would be hard for me to sacrific that for minced
in another dish. Only because I rarely buy lamb and
stick to the tried and true.

Bet you ground lamb burgers would be good too.
On my bucket list is ground ribeye steak for a
burger. My grocery would grind some for free if I
wanted that but the rare times I buy ribeye, I just
hate to turn a nice steak into a few hamburgers.

As recently mentioned, I'm going to do this with an 11oz
strip steak this week but using my small food processor.
Just give it a few pulses to mince but not turn into
mush.

I'll make a small cottage pie with this but I'll use a small
bit to try a burger too just to see how it tastes.
I did buy some ground sirloin at a specialty store
for burgers once and they were very superior to regular
ground beef.
