I see the portion size is very small, I asume it is for lunch.
What if I want to make this my dinner and/or only meal of the day? What will the ingredients measurements be? T.I.A.Reply: #3

What if I want to make this my dinner and/or only meal of the day? What will the ingredients measurements be? T.I.A.This generates .25lbs lamb per serving. If you wish to have more sliders, you can make 2 servings instead of 1.
