Greek Burgers image

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. Serve with a garlic mayonnaise.

I would love to try these burgers, but I don't have any lamb. Do you think I could substitute another type of meat?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these burgers were a disaster. They were dry and tasteless.

I tried making these burgers, but they didn't turn out very well. The lamb was too tough and the spices were overpowering.

These burgers were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best burgers he's ever had.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great. I served them with pita bread and tzatziki sauce and they were a hit.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but these burgers were surprisingly good. The spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the lamb.

I made these burgers last night and they were a hit! My family loved the flavor and the burgers were so juicy. I topped mine with feta cheese and tzatziki sauce and it was the perfect combination of flavors.
