Steps

1

In a large bowl mix meats and all seasonings well with hands. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
2

Heat grill, skillet or griddle.
3

Make 10 nice big round patties. Like u normally would for burgers.
4

(This is where I freeze any I won't need to make this evening) I also place a small hole in center of patty to help with puffing and shrinkage. About a small pinky size hole.)
5

Cook burgers like u normally would. Leaving a tad pink in center but at a safe temp.
6

Set burgers on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease (if u want to )
7

Warm pitas or flat buns for a few second in microwave.
8

Assemble burgers by spreading some tzatziki sauce on each half of flatbuns.
9

Place burger on one side.
10

Place tomato and onion on top.
11

Place other bun sauce side down.
12

Serve hot and enjoy! :)
13

Makes about 10 burgers depending on the size u make them.
14

U can add other condiments on your burger, its also good with ketchup and pickles. :)
