Greek Stuffed Hamburgers are a Mediterranean-inspired dish that combines the flavors of Greece with the American classic hamburger. These burgers are stuffed with a mixture of feta cheese, ripe tomatoes, chopped red onions, and olives, resulting in a juicy, flavorful bite. The tangy, creamy cucumber ranch dressing on top of the burger gives it a fresh taste that complements the saltiness of the stuffing. These burgers are perfect for a summer barbecue or a weeknight dinner with salads or sweet potato fries.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, red onions, ripe olives, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
2.Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
3.Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the patties on the grill, cooking each side for 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
4.Lightly grill the pita bread for 30 seconds on each side.
5.Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato on each pita bread. Add a cooked hamburger patty on top of the tomato slice.
6.Add the cucumber slices, followed by a spoonful of cucumber ranch salad dressing.
7.Fold the pita bread around the hamburger patty and serve hot.
