Mediterranean, Greek
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Ground Beef
- 2 cups Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 3 Tbsp. Croix Valley Greek Booster
- Sliced Tomato
- Sliced Red Onion
- Tzatziki Sauce (use store-bought if short on time, or make your own delicious Garlic Dill Tzatziki below)
- Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
- 4 Hamburger Buns, Toasted
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
- 1 Clove Garlic, minced
- 1 Cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
- 1 Tbsp. Croix Valley Garlic Booster
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
Directions
- Mix ground beef with Croix Valley Greek Booster and 1 cup Feta Cheese crumbles. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
- Prepare Tzatziki by combining all ingredients, set aside in refrigerator until ready for use.
- Toast buns and set aside until ready for use. My favorite method for toasting buns starts by combining 1 Tbsp. Croix Valley Garlic Booster with 1 stick of softened, unsalted butter. Spread garlic butter on insides of bun and toast on a grill or flat-top griddle until golden brown.
- Prepare burgers by splitting beef into 4 equal portions (this will make 4 ½ lb. burgers. You can obviously make them smaller if you desire. 1 lb. of meat easily makes 6 hearty-sized burgers). Form burgers into patties of even thickness side to side (this helps promote even cooking and makes a level surface for adding toppings) and grill over medium-high heat until internal temperature reaches 160°F, or to desired doneness.
- Allow burger patties to rest 5 minutes, then build burger as follows from the bottom up: Bottom Bun, Shredded Lettuce, Burger Patty, Sliced Tomato, Sliced Red Onion, Garlic Dill Tzatziki, Crumbled Feta, Top Bun.
