It's All Greek To Me - Souvlaki Inspired Burgers with Grilled Onions & Peppers

My family loves souvlaki,so one night I decided to get creative and make burgers instead of kebabs...everyone raved about dinner that night!

2 lbs. ground sirloin, turkey or chicken (whatever makes you happy)
4 tsp minced fresh garlic
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp white wine
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1 red bell pepper,cored and sliced into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cored and sliced into thin strips
1 red onion, sliced into thin rings
tzatzki sauce (see recipe below)
1 small log goat cheese
1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives
8 ciabatta rolls or your favorite burger bun (my kiddos love Fuddrucker's buns - you can buy them to-go)

In a large glass bowl, combine ground meat and next seven ingredients. Gently combine to incorporate. Cover and place in fridge while preparing grilled veg.

In a small bowl, combine goat cheese and olives. Stir to combine. Cover and place in fridge until ready to use.

Heat grill to medium high. Toss peppers and onion slices with a splash of olive oil and with tongs place either in grill basket or directly onto grill. Grill, turning frequently until veg is crisp tender and charred in spots. Remove from grill and set aside in small bowl.

Remove meat from fridge and make 8 patties, making sure not to overwork meat.

Pur burgers on grill and cook until burgers reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from grill and tent with foil.

Brush buns with a bit of olive oil and grill until toasted.

To assemble burgers - top one bun bottom with a burger patty. Spread a bit of cheese/olive mixture on patty and top with some of the onions and peppers. You can either spread some tzatziki sauce on top bun or serve on side. Enjoy!
