Combining the savory richness of ground beef with the fresh flavors of spinach and the tangy creaminess of feta cheese, this dish offers a unique and delicious dining experience that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the 3 onions.
- Wash and roughly chop the spinach.
- Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside for later use.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the cooked spinach and onions.
- Crumble the feta cheese into the mixture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty, making sure they are about 3/4 inch thick for even grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers.
- If you prefer, you can also cook the burgers on a stovetop grill pan by heating it over medium-high heat and following the same cooking time.
- While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
- Place a grilled patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Top with tomato slices.
- Add additional toppings as desired, such as lettuce, more feta, or any condiments you prefer.
- Cover with the top half of the bun and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- When mixing the ingredients, be careful not to overwork the ground beef to keep the burgers tender.
- For an extra burst of flavor, season the ground beef mixture with your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, oregano, or black pepper.
- Allow the grill to preheat fully before cooking to achieve a nice sear on the burgers.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to the desired level of doneness (160°F / 71°C for ground beef).
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
Grilled feta and spinach beef burgers are a fantastic and flavorful way to elevate your burger game.
