Ground Beef Gyros image

If your family likes gyros as much as mine, they'll love this easy version that's made with ground beef instead of lamb. I found the recipe in a newspaper and adapted it to fit our tastes. They're very much like the ones served at a local restaurant. A cucumber yogurt sauce adds an authentic finishing touch. -Ruth Stahl, Shepherd, Montana

These gyros were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think next time I will drain the meat before adding it to the skillet.

I made these gyros with ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very good. I also used a low-fat tzatziki sauce and they were not greasy at all.

These gyros were amazing! I made them for my family and they loved them. The meat was so flavorful and the tzatziki sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.
