Loaded Greek Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1 sprig fresh mint , chopped
• 1 sprig fresh parsley , chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the spread: Stir feta cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, mint, and parsley together in a small bowl. Set aside until needed.

2. 2

   Make the burgers: Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3. 3

   Cut bell pepper in half from top to bottom; remove stem, seeds, and ribs. Place pepper onto the prepared baking sheet with the cut sides facing down.

4. 4

   Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer pepper halves to a paper bag to cool and steam, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

6. 6

   Peel and discard bell pepper skin. Dice flesh and place into a large bowl.

7. 7

   Add ground beef, spinach, feta, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, mint, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Form meat mixture into four 4 1/2-inch-diameter patties.

8. 8

   Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

9. 9

   Serve burgers on warm rolls with feta cheese spread, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce.
