Gyros

"That's ok, that's ok, I make you lamb" (Bonus points if you can name that movie). This recipe is also very easy to make and taste like heaven. Don't be shocked at the small serving size...the meat in this IS a bit fatty but it is also very filling. Throw some veggies into the pita and I promise you'll be full! Sister gives this 4 stars, I'd give it 4.5.

Side note: I basically shape these loaves into really large burger patties. Just be careful to make the thickness consistent throughout the patty so that it cooks evenly. Recipe for sauce to follow.
