Posted ZWT6 - Greece Region. Found in the Simple & Delicious June 2009 magazine. Sounds like a nice twist to the standard burger.

I had no problem keeping my burgers together, and also shaped them into oblong shapes so they would fit in the folded pita bread. Instead of using cucumber ranch dressing, I used tsatziki sauce. These were wonderful! I'll definitely make these again. Thanks Hokies! Made for Photo Tag.

Great burgers. I simply massaged the filling into the ground beef and then shaped into patties. Wonderful flavours and so easy to make. Thanks for posting.

We couldn't get the burgers to come out properly, with the filling staying inside! So we mixed the filling throughout the burgers and they were very tasty! I particularly liked the oregano so upped the amount a good deal! The ranch worked very well with this recipe. Thanks for a lovely treat! Made for ZWT6.
