Gyro Burgers

this is delicious and a welcome change from plain old burgers. i used 2 1/2 lbs of beef, and added extra spices. i made the salad dressing but served the salad with the burgers, without the 2 hour marinating time. i also served lettuce, sliced red onion, and tzaziki sauce on the side along with baked potato fries. delicious and a kid pleaser too!

The Best. I used a combination of 1 lb Ground Beef and 1 lb. Ground Lamb. And I doubled the spices, added in 1 tsp of cumin (my fav spice) , let marrinate 3 hours and it made 12 patties which i cut each pattie in to slices before adding to the flat bread... perfect for lunch and dinner for the day. It was an amazing combination and made the best Gyros. Topped off with fresh tomatos, romaine lettuce, onions, Kalmata olives and feta cheese for a perfect tasting homemade gyro, even better than the Medditeranean restaurant we have locally. And I made my own tzatziki sauce using sour cream, garlic, olive oil, S & P to taste, cucumber seeded then shredded. Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely make this again.

It was pretty good. My husband is middle eastern so we eat heavily spiced food all the time, so this i would at least double the seasoning. We don't like a lot of salt in things, but this we added a little extra. We ate them elongated(cooked all the way through) with lamb and sirloin beef. They turned out great and we ate them oh whole wheat naan with home-made tzatziki sauce(non fat yogurt, cucumber, salt, pepper, dill, garlic, onion powder) The burgers came out Very juicy. we will be making them again

WOW! These were marvelous! I made them on the grill, per directions. Only thing I did was increase the recipe to feed my son's group of teenage boys. Perfect combination of spice and the texture of the meat was just like that of a Gyro! Very nice, and easy. Thanks so much Heather !

Excellent burger recipe! I shaped into oblong patties and put in hot dog rolls. Made just like the instructions say and wow, they were good! Thanks Heather for another great burger recipe that we really enjoyed! Mike

Phenomenal! I just made the meat part and served it up on fluffy flat bread, romaine, onions, tomatoes and improvised tzaztiki sauce and it was awesome! I made the patties square then sliced them into 4 strips so it was really gyro-like. I'm making this again and again. Thanks for this incredible recipe !

These were great! They grilled up nicely and I enjoyed the tomato/cuke topping. Served with homemade pitas (Pita on call,,,, half recipe) - a very nice meal!

these were really good! i usually use 90% lean beef, but for these/next time i'll go a little crazy/maybe use 80% lean b/c i did't do the ground lamb. all lean beef is a little dry/but that was my fault. great flavor!

Delicious! This recipe makes wonderful gyro burgers; however, I first tried this recipe a day after I tried the Spicy Summer Sausage recipe (#19453), and decided to combine the ideas to make my own gyro meat. I make sausages as indicated in the summer sausage recipe (which is also extremely easy and very good, by the way), but instead of using the summer sausage seasonings, I use the seasonings called for in the Gyro Burger recipe. After cooking the sausages, the "gyro meat" can be sliced thinly and browned in a skillet, then stuffed into pitas. It is also easy to freeze any extra sausages. I do use all beef, because lamb is almost impossible to find where I live, but I would use the lamb, too, if it were available. I also leave out the bread crumbs.

These were delicious! I substituted beef for the lamb as well, but they tasted the same!! I also made homemade pitas and tzatziki sauce. They were a hit. Will definitely make again.

Loved these burgers, HeatherFeather. Perfect on fresh pita with that tomato topping and tzatziki. I added some fresh oregano and doubled the spices, used part ground turkey, and omitted the bread crumbs. Thanks very much for posting!

These were fabulous! We love gyros & this is a true, homemade rendition. I tripled the recipe & followed it exactly. It was easy & fairly quick. We grilled the burgers until they were cooked all the way through. I also made pita bread (#10901) and tzatziki (#59336), along with a yummy greek salad. All 6 of us really enjoyed it (hubby & 4 children) and we are looking forward to the leftovers... Thanks for posting this great recipe. It will go into our favorites folder!

These really taste like delicious gyros!! Great recipe. I would recommend grilling these well-done even if you usually like a rarer burger. Easy and fun to serve - quick clean-up.

This makes a very flavorful burger. I served this on buns made from Garlic & Dried Tomato Bread #44605 and with Greek Potatoes #8926. A meal that will be repeated. Thanks, Heather!

I must have done something wrong here...probably that I didn't use fresh breadcrumbs so I would highly recommend not using dried ones as it ends up over powering what should be really great flavours. I had tripled the recipe & made half.The next day I took the rest of the hamburgers broke them up, added more garlic, a bay leaf, a can of tomatoes & tomatoe sauce & it turned into a great spaghetti sauce! Everyone loved it.
