Greek Burgers Recipe


"My mother never really cooked ground meat, but I have given these burgers the flavor of her Greek cooking. I like a lot of pepper on mine, coating each side liberally, but the kids prefer these burgers with just a very little finely ground pepper. Aoli sauce is the perfect condiment for lamb burgers. I cheat a little, and just mix together minced garlic and prepared mayo."
