(or another good recipe using similar ingredients!?) thanks! otherwise just general hamburger tips i know one adds egg, no!?

This is one of my favorite hamburgers!. I like to put some feta cheese on the patty a minute or so before I take them off the grill!. I suggest topping these great burgers off with thin slices of tomato, cucumbers and white onions!.

Another method: divide your ground meat (your choice) into eight rather thin patties!. Put 1 teaspoon(approx) feta cheese in center of four of the patties!.Add a teaspoon of finely chopped onion and finely chopped garlic on top of the feta!. Cover each pattie with the remaining patties!. Seal edges!. Cook as normal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
