Greek Style Burgers are perfect for Summer grilling! But just look at all that delicious goodness in the burger! The onion, the feta, the tomato pesto. YUM! It all came together perfectly and tasted amazing with the feta on top.

I told you I was on a bit of a Greek kick, didn’t I? I wasn’t kidding. Just wait. I did the Greek Panzanella this week. These Greek Style Burgers were this week, and then there’s Greek something tomorrow. If you follow in Instragram you got a sneak peak.

 

You see, it all started with an idea for the #SundaySupper Idaho Potato sponsored event. I ask to participate in ALL these types of events, but haven’t been picked so far. But, It just thought since I had a pretty neat idea for a potato salad, which is the theme for this event, I’d just make it and post it anyway! What harm can it do? I won’t be compensated, but that’s fine with me! I just wanted an excuse to cook with potatoes. Yes, apparently this person needs an excuse to cook with potatoes.

So, then I thought, “What goes best with potato salad? BURGERS!” Then I wondered what would go in it, how would it taste, what type of condiments, if any. And voila! These Greek Style Burgers were born!

 

I must confess, it was a bit of a fail night. Since we have a one butt kitchen, it’s usually just me in there and I think I could have honestly used a second set of hands to help out. Needless to say, we got home later than usual and ate WAY later than usual because I was lazy and didn’t prep the salad before hand, like I planned. *shrugs* C’est la vie!

Yup. They got a bit browned due to the tomato pesto and the pan I was using. I should have used the other skillet and not the waterless ones. Well, that’s not true. I should have watched the temp on the skillet more. I forget that I need half the amount of heat under those pans. And I honestly thought I could get more in the pan than I did. This added the time it took to cook. Don’t do what I did and use a larger skillet. LOL

I was thinking of whipping up another batch of the feta spread that I used in my Albanian Qofte Sliders, but I didn’t have an extra hand for that. I refer you back to paragraph 4. Just sayin.

    I love potatoes. I am sorry you did not get picked for the Idaho thing. But you know eventually you will. Anyway I am focused on the burger. Now that is one super burger! Nice and thick and filled with interesting
    flavors. This burger would make a wonderful menu item for a restaurant that serves burgers,, because I have never seen one quite like this one. Good Going!

      Not too worried about it Carol! I still LOVE participating in #SundaySupper! I'm still pretty noob to the brand/blogger thingy.

      I was thinking the same thing about burger joints. There are so many amazing flavor styles, but truly haven't seen one like this on a menu.

      Thanks for the kuddos and stopping by! <3
