Last night we had Phil's parents over for another one of our game nights. We knew that we wanted to grill burgers - it was just a matter of what seasonings to do. I decided I was going to do a spin on Greek. Here are the recipes/ingredients that I used:
For the meat I combined:
1 package lean ground beef
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
a little milk (no more than a 1/4 cup)
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
a good shake of both parsley and basil
a dash of ground mustard
salt and pepper to taste
and a sprinkling of grill seasoning
I made fairly plump patties and let them sit in the fridge all day to 'marry.' I pulled them out about one half hour before serving so they would come down in temperature a little bit and cook more evenly on the grill.
Instead of mayonnaise I served my homemade feta dip. (I usually use this dip for crackers, toast and bagels, but it stood up just as well as a condiment. It also gave the Greek spin to the burgers).
The dip:
8oz of soft cream cheese
1 cup of crumbled feta (I just take a fork to a 'brick' of cheese for this. It's cheaper than buying crumbles).
2 tbsps sour cream
1 tbsp minced garlic (I use the wet kind)
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp basil
a drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
We just spread it across our buns, and it tasted amazing with the juicy burgers!
Then the only other thing I did was substitute baby spinach for lettuce leaves.
Unfortunately I was a dum-dum and forgot to take a picture of the finished product like I normally do. Honestly though, if you like the above ingredients you have to try these things!...and let me know what you think. ;)
