These Greek stuffed burgers are a fusion of classic American flavors with Mediterranean ingredients. Juicy beef patties are stuffed with feta cheese, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes, then grilled to perfection. Serve them with a homemade tzatziki sauce for a fresh and tangy finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce, tomato, and red onion for garnish

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix together ground beef, feta cheese, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 patties, making an indentation in the center of each patty.
  3. Divide the filling evenly among the patties, pressing it into the indentations.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the stuffed burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill in a bowl.
  6. Toast the buns on the grill for a minute or two until lightly charred.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing a stuffed patty on each bun, topping with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of Greece in a burger!
