Recipe of the Week

I also think I have used celebrations.com before to find recipes, and was fairly happy with the results. So, I decided to comeback for more. This sounded like a tasty twist on your typical cheeseburger. With all the ingredients you might think it makes cooking a burger way to difficult, but if you actually read the directions they extremely easy. Not much more than throwing ingredients, the right ones of course, together and mixing. Then for your burgers you just have to form the patties. Cannot get any simpler than that!

Mediterranean Burgers

The Sun-dried Tomato Basil Mayonnaise is excellent as a topping on these burgers and would taste great on a vegetarian version as well.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 3 oz. Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup pitted, finely chopped Kalamata olives
• 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
• 4 grilled onion rolls
• Sun-dried Tomato Basil Mayonnaise
• 1 Cup mayonnaise
• 4 sun-dried tomatoes (hydrated)
• 1 tablespoon minced basil leaves

Steps

• Add ground beef into a bowl and mix in cheese, olives, salt and peppers until throughout. Form 4 patties and place in an airtight container for transport to the tailgate site.

• To make Sun-dried Tomato Basil Mayonnaise: Add mayonnaise and sun-dried tomatoes into blender and process until smooth. Stir in basil leaves and transfer into an airtight container.

Note: Keep mayo in the cooler on hot tailgating days for maximum freshness.

• Grill burgers on a lightly oiled rack over medium-high heat, 5 minutes on each side for medium burgers. Top with Sun-dried Tomato Basil Mayonnaise and serve on onion rolls.
