  1. simple and delicious….college kids devoured them….simple and delicious once again….thank you thank you very much

  2. This looks good. I like to cook it in a baking dish and let it cool in the baking dish because I usually don’t serve it all at once. That way the grease will stay in the meat as it cools, then I slice it cold again and store it that way and then I can just cook it like bacon in the frying pan when I’m ready to use and The fat frying with it is the original flavor. The more fat the better it freezes also. Are usually do half and half ground beef and lamb which has plenty of fat in it so I don’t need the bacon but I might try it sometime, it sounds kind of good.

  3. Sorry, you lost me at bacon. I ground my lamb and beef and make an approximate60/40 mixture. I never have a problem with fat.

  4. This recipe was DELICIOUS. It tasted just like an authentic gyro should. I like mine a bit crispier, so a few more minutes under the broiler and it was perfect! Thank you! No need to look anyplace else for a better recipe. This IS THE ONE!

  5. Can we use an immersion Blender to mix the meat mixture instead of a food processor?

  6. I almost gave up on ground beef gyros because I didn't like the consistency of the beef (with lumps and bits of fat, as it comes from the store, you know?). The pureeing solved that. So glad you shared this.

  7. Excellent recipe that eliminates the need to buy that treat anymore, however I would reduce the salt by a whole teaspoon at least.

    Thank you.

  8. This was awesome. The only changes I made was to put the raw meat into a bread pan to initially cook. Rather than put into oven after slicing, I fried them in a pan.
    Paired this with Chef John’s homemade pitas.

  9. I have been longing for a gyro. All the commercial brands have wheat.
