• 0.25 cup kalamata olives, chopped

• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 hamburger buns
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
• 4 lettuce leaves (optional)
• 4 tomato slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the crumbled feta cheese, chopped kalamata olives, and chopped baby spinach.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into thin patties.

Step 4

Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the feta mixture onto the center of 4 patties, leaving space around the edges.

Step 5

Place the remaining 4 patties on top and seal the edges, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Cook the stuffed burgers for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature should reach at least 160°F for safety).

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in the skillet, if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers with optional toppings such as tzatziki sauce, red onion slices, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Stuffed Hamburgers!
