Feta Burger with Tzatziki
My Greek inspired Feta Burger with Tzatziki is a great recipe for anyone who enjoys burgers as much as I do. The beef patties are flavored with tangy feta cheese, red onion, roasted red peppers, and a combination of Greek inspired herbs and seasonings. For ease I've cooked these under the broiler, but they cook equally well outdoors on the grill or barbecue when the sun is shining.
