Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tbsp Fresh mint (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tsp Olive oil
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (optional, as a spread)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint, minced garlic, diced red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough burgers.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your preferred level of doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties during cooking to retain their juices.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked burger patty. Top each patty with a tomato slice and a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad. Enjoy your Feta Mint Cheeseburgers!
