Greek Bruschetta Burger

My wife likes to make a Greek Styled Bruschetta when we have company.  Unlike the Italian version, my wife will add in onions, feta cheese, and red wine vinegar to give it a Greek kick.  One time when we were grilling burgers, I noticed that we had some left over Bruschetta topping in the fridge and thought I'd give it a whirl on mine and was very pleased with the results. 


Bruschetta Topping

2 medium sized tomatoes diced
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
feta cheese for topping

Combine cut up tomatoes and onion in a medium size container.  In a separate container, combine the red wine vinegar and olive oil, add in onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning - mix together well and adjust flavors to your taste.  Pour red wine mixture over tomatoes and onions and let sit for 30 min to an hour.  

In the meantime.....

Mix up your burger mix to your liking, we like 90% lean with some salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder. 

Fire up the grill and choose your beverage of choice

I broke in my new charcoal starter today, no more starter fluid for me


Soon as you see flames, you know the coals are ready


Cook your burgers to your liking


Top your burger with the Bruschetta mix and some feta cheese, use the roll of your choice......and devour.
 

These are yummy!
