The smash is so satisfying 🤩 celebrate Father’s Day with these Greek-style smashed burgers. Recipe below: Makes 4-6 burgers 🍔 Ingredients 🍔 • 1/3 cup Chobani Whole Milk Plain Greek Yogurt • 1 lb 80% lean ground beef • 1/4 large red onion, diced • 1 cup feta cheese, plus more for serving • 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp kosher salt • 1 tsp fresh-ground black pepper • 4-6 pitas • Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed • 1 large cucumber, peeled • 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped • 4 cloves garlic, minced • Juice of 1 lemon • Cherry tomatoes, halved, for serving 🧑🍳 Instructions 🧑🍳 1️⃣ In a large bowl, add the ground beef, onion, and feta. Season with 1 tbsp kosher salt and the black pepper. Mix evenly to combine, then divide the meat into 4-6 sections and roll into balls. 2️⃣ Smash the balls of meat down on the pitas, flattening the meat as thin as you can. 3️⃣ Heat a grill or large cast iron skillet. Drizzle both sides of the pita with olive oil and place them meat side down onto the heat. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until fully browned. Flip and cook for about 5 minutes on the other side, or until cooked through. 4️⃣ Make the tzatziki sauce: Using the large grates of a box grater, grate 1/2 of the peeled cucumber, reserving the other half. Use a dish towel to squeeze out all the liquid from the grated cucumber. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon juice, and remaining 1 tsp kosher salt. 5️⃣ Serve the smash burgers with additional feta and the tzatziki sauce. Dice the other half of the cucumber and serve cucumber pieces on the burgers, plus the cherry tomatoes and additional dill for garnish. Enjoy! #burgerrecipe #greekburger #fathersday #easygrillingrecipe
