Ingredients
- (2) ounces best quality blue cheese (we recommend Point Reyes Blue)
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 pound ground Stemple Creek lamb
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill to 400F.
- Combine the blue cheese, basil, mayo, and mustard in a small mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, salt & pepper. Form into (4) patties sized for slider buns.
