on Sep 26, 2015, Updated Apr 19, 2021 I never post two days in a row, but there are times when you try something out, and if you don’t share its awesomeness with the world immediately, you don’t deserve to be called a Food Blogger. And that’s what this Badass Lamb Meatball Burger with an insane Whiskey Sauce is all about. It all started with the sauce actually. We recently had Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey at a friends place and were floored! While Denver and I are both whiskey lovers, this was like liquor but also whiskey with a really smooth finish. We ended up buying a bottle for our collection, finished it with the help of some friends and then got another one, courtesy War and Cheese. All this while, I couldn’t stop thinking about the possibilities of using this whiskey in food. And that’s how this sauce was born. Now when you have a sauce that good, you better pair it with food that deserves it. It had to be some badass man food. Something that a guy would love to chomp on with a chilled glass of beer. Doesn’t hurt that I love burgers just as much as the next fella. Some of you may point out that this isn’t really burger season, but who decides that?! I say any season is burger season. Because burgers are just plain awesome, and this one – well, I just want you to look at this picture and decide whether you are with me or with the soup. I had some minced lamb sitting in the fridge, but you could definitely use beef or pork. These meatballs were braised with star anise and cinnamon, drowned with whiskey sauce, covered in melted cheese and topped with crunchy onion rings for a badass burger that I bet you can’t resist. If you ever get down to trying this bad boy, don’t forget to give me a holler on Instagram, tag your pictures #myfoodstories and we’ll exchange notes about our favorite burgers. Deal?
