Beef and Pita Casserole image

This dish is my husband's favorite. He is a picky eater, but he never complains when I make this simple dish. Sauteed pita bread baked with beef sirloin strips and tomato sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of casseroles, but this one is definitely an exception. The beef is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. I love that it's also a one-pot meal, which makes cleanup a breeze.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make a big batch of beef stew or chili on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this casserole during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's always delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pita bread. I usually have a few pitas left over after making gyros or shawarma, and this is a great way to use them up. The casserole is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still love this recipe. I just substitute the beef with lentils or beans. It's just as delicious, and it's a great way to get my protein.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it flavorful. The pita bread was also a bit too dry. I would recommend using a different type of bread, like French bread or sourdough.

I'm not a huge fan of beef, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The pita bread helped to soak up the sauce, and the cheese added a nice gooey texture. I would definitely make this again, even if I had to use ground turkey instead of beef.
