EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you have fresh dill in the garden, use one tablespoon of chopped dill in place of the dried dill.

Greek gyros are pita sandwiches typically made from roasted lamb. Seasoned with garlic and oregano, the ground beef in this recipe takes on the flavor of gyro.

these were soooo good! i cahnaged it all up though bc dill weed is really expensive. i browned the beef and added some "mediteranian spice mix" while it was cooking. i drained it and added some dill dip, olives, and feta right in the pan. spread Tzatziki on the pita, sprinkled lettuce, and scooped my meat mixture into the pita. added tomatoes to my husband's cause i dont like them. they were awesome. i found ground lamb at the grocery store. im thinking of trying that next time.

This was a great hit, what with the Greek seasonings and sauce. What could be any better! Everyone want me to cook it soon. I will.

I wasn't too crazy about this. Quite bland to me. I added a tad more salt to the meat and some crumbled feta to the sauce, so that helped a bit, but it's still not a fave in my family.
