Greek Burgers Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Greek Recipes. (Greek Burgers Recipe). My mother never really cooked ground meat, but I have given these burgers the flavor of her Greek cooking. I like a lot of pepper on mine, coating each side liberally, but the kids prefer these burgers with just a very little finely ground pepper. Serve with a garlic mayonnaise.
