This Easy Greek Burger Recipe is the perfect way to dress up a burger with your favorite Greek inspired flavors. Creamy tzatziki, lettuce, red onion, roasted red peppers and tomatoes are topped on an Angus beef burger and served with a Greek salad on the side. Your family will love this easy meal!
You guys probably know my love for all types of Greek recipes and ingredients.
I excited to be partnering today with BUBBA burger to bring you another delicious way to take your burgers to the next level.
You might remember last month when I shared this Easy Avocado Burger – which used a creamy guacamole to top your favorite BUBBA Burger.
Today we are taking your favorite creamy tzatziki and topping that on the burger with your other favorite burger toppings.
I like to serve this burger with a quick Greek salad on the side like this Village Greek Salad or this Greek Chickpea Salad.
I think that tzatziki and beef are just made to go together – the creamy, cool yogurt reminds me of my childhood. We always ate kibbeh or beef kofta kebabs and topped it with yogurt which reminds me of tzatziki.

How do you Make a Greek Burger?
For the Grill:
Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook your burgers on the grill straight from the freezer (no thawing required). Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side.
When the juices begin to rise to the top of the burger it is time to flip them. Burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
While the grill is heating make the Tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dill, cucumber salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Put in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Assemble the Burgers:
Set out 4 buns and top with lettuce, onion and then the burgers.
Top the burger with a sprinkling of feta cheese and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
Recipe FAQ
I like to use ground beef that’s 80/20 for juicy burgers (80% lean, 20% fat) or ground lamb with similar fat content. Leaner meats (like turkey or chicken) can dry out without added moisture.
Check your burgers with a meat thermometer and the internal temperature should be: Beef/lamb: 160°F (medium); Chicken/turkey: 165°F.
Make sure to rest the burgers after cooking for a few minutes to lock in the juices.
