Summer… the season of burgers. I don’t want it to end! If I just keep posting summer/burger recipes maybe we can pretend it will never end?!
Burgers on the grill are a go-to meal in my home because they’re quick, easy and always seem to satisfy. I’m normally a traditional burger with extra sharp cheddar cheese on top but I’m always up for a switch up.
I created this Greek style burger the other night and you always know when a recipe is good when the husband gives his approval. He’s normally pretty plain Jane with his meal preferences, but he loved this twist. I actually prefer just the burger (no bun) and a side of sweet potato fries.
If you’re a burger type of gal, you have to give the one a try!
