Grilled Lamb Burgers W Marinated Red Onions Dill Sliced

dh and i made these tasty lamb burgers from the grilling 2010 magazine a couple of nights ago. " i really liked these burgers. dh liked them, but likes my moroccan lamb burgers (also posted) better. the fresh dill in my garden wasn't looking so hot, so i subbed 1 tb dried dill. this worked, but i'm sure the fresh would be even better. i would definitely make these again. prep time includes 15 mins marinating time.
