The Greek Gyro Burger! Thank You, Trader Joe's! Full Recipe!

What happens when you combine a juicy charcoal-grilled cheeseburger with the incredible flavors of a Greek gyro? You get one seriously amazing GREEK GYRO BURGER! OPA!

Inspired by the legendary Canada Steak Burger here in San Diego, California, I decided to create my own version of a Greek-inspired hamburger, and this thing is an absolute flavor bomb!

I started with a 6-ounce patty of 80/20 ground chuck, grilled over charcoal for that unmistakable backyard BBQ flavor. Then I took some beef and lamb gyro meat from Trader Joe's and seared it on my Ballistic Griddle to develop those delicious crispy edges.

But we're not stopping there!

This burger is loaded with melted Natural American Cheese, crispy gyro meat, fresh shredded lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, ripe tomato, and a homemade tzatziki sauce that brings everything together with a cool, creamy Greek kick.

**Here's what's on this Greek Gyro Burger:**

- 6-ounce 80/20 ground chuck patty
- Charcoal-grilled for incredible flavor
- Trader Joe's beef and lamb gyro meat
- Natural American Cheese
- Fresh shredded lettuce
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Fresh tomato
- Homemade tzatziki sauce

Tzatziki Recipe

* 1 medium cucumber, peeled and grated
* ▢1 ½ cups Greek yogurt
* ▢2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh dill
* ▢2 garlic cloves, minced
* ▢2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* ▢1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* ▢½ teaspoon kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS 
Drain the cucumber. Drain the grated cucumber by pressing down on it over a fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Alternatively, you could use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and gently squeeze until all the moisture is out.

Mix together. Stir together the cucumber, yogurt, dill, garlic, oil, lemon juice and salt in a large mixing bowl until everything is well combined. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes for the flavors to meld together. Taste test to see if you need to add any extra herbs, lemon juice, or salt.

The combination of smoky grilled beef, seasoned gyro meat, melted cheese, and tangy tzatziki takes this cheeseburger to another level!

If you love Greek food, gyros, cheeseburgers, or simply experimenting with new burger recipes, you've got to try this one!
