Stuffed Greek Burgers
  1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, kalamata olives and crumbled feta for filling and set aside.
  2. Divide ground beef into 8 to 9 patties. Divide each patty in half and flatten each side with the palm of your hand. Place stuffing mixture onto the center of one patty, making sure to leave a space on the edge to seal later. Put the other half of patty over the top and seal very tightly. Do the same for each patty.
  3. Place patties on the grill and grill each side for 5 minutes on med/ high heat until cooked through.
  4. Grill bun slightly and serve with extra feta, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
