I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers fell apart when I tried to cook them. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough.

These burgers were a bit time-consuming to make, but they were definitely worth it. They were so delicious!

I'm going to try making these burgers with ground turkey next time. I think they would be just as good.

I thought the burgers were a bit dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more sauce.

These burgers were a great way to use up some leftover spinach and feta cheese. They were also a fun and easy meal to make.

I found the burgers to be a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices.

These burgers were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used a leaner ground lamb.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these burgers without the lamb. They were still delicious! I used a veggie burger patty instead, and it worked out perfectly.

I made these burgers exactly as the recipe said, and they turned out great. I'm definitely going to be making them again.

The tzatziki sauce was the perfect complement to the burgers. It was light and refreshing, and it helped to balance out the richness of the feta cheese.

I'm not usually a fan of pita bread, but these burgers changed my mind. The pita was perfectly crispy and held up well to all the fillings.
