Cheeseburger Pitas image

"Years ago, my mom converted a stuffed pepper recipe into this easy pita sandwich that calls for leftover rice," relates Becky Floyd of Riverside, California. "I've loved it since I was a kid, and now it's one of my husband's favorites, too." TIP: "For added convenience, use frozen diced green pepper and onions," advised Becky.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the beef.

These were a great way to use up leftover cheeseburger meat. I just added some shredded cheese and chopped onion, and they were ready to go.

These were amazing! I used a mix of ground beef and ground pork, and I added some chopped bacon. They were so flavorful and juicy.

These were a little too greasy for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a huge fan of cheeseburgers, but these pitas were actually really good. The beef was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey.

Not bad! I thought the pitas were a little dry, but the cheeseburger filling was really good. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll use a different type of bread.

These were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still really flavorful. I also added some chopped onion and green bell pepper.

These cheeseburger pitas were a hit with my family! The beef was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. The pitas were the perfect size and held everything together nicely.
