Greek Burgers

Disclaimer: If you don't like feta or don't even want to try feta, go find another recipe.

yield: 4 burgers (6 ww pts each)

1 lb lead ground beef, thawed
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup onion, minced (I used onion powder because I was lazy)
5 tsp feta
3/4 cups spinach leaves (we didn't have these)
1 tomato, sliced
4 hamburger buns (we used the Arnolds Sandwich Thins)

1. mix hamburger up with all the spices, garlic and onion
2. make 8 thin patties
3. put feta in center of one patty and then top with another patty and pinch edges closed
4. grill (we used the forman)
5. eat on bun with spinach leaves and tomatoes

We served ours with hummus and pita chips and OH MY is this a delicious burger. It's similar to a gyro and DE-LISH-US! We've already started thinking of ways to make a similar recipe with the same ingredients but make it even a step easier (I'm not a fan of the mixing of ground beef so I try to avoid it when I can). Another recipe that we HIGHLY recommend! Also - if you want to keep it easier, you could just do 4 patties and top with the feta, it doesn't have to be in the middle. I do think you taste more of it by it being in the middle though. YUM!
