This was excellent. I made it pretty much as stated and served it with a greek salad (Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad). We only ate half of the meatloaf, I froze the other half. We'll see how it is after the freezer! Thanks

    I usually make a chicken gyro recipe that i found here but also love the traditional lamb meat, i stumbled across this recipe when i was searching for a friend and holy cow, this was great! Very quick and easy to put together, thanks for a keeper in this household.

    I was also surprised that the meat loaf needed no filler. I was also a little bit anxious about the amount of oregano. But everything was perfection. We love tsztziki sauce and I always have to make more than called for. This was so, so good. Thnx for posting, Sassy, will definitely have this again. Made for My-3-Chefs 2008.

    LOVED IT! We had a pita buffet tonight with two different pita recipes. Both were absolutely delicious. I was surprised that there are no bread crumbs in the meatloaf, but it came out just right. The seasonings are perfect and the sauce is delicious. In fact, I ended up making more of the sauce to use for dipping pita chips. I had to use roasted bell peppers rather than tomatoes because of the recall, I think they were the perfect accompaniment! Thank you for posting a keeper Sassy! Made for ZWT, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.
