I got this recipe from the newspaper years ago, and make it frequently. I serve it with my cucumber yogurt sauce, which I'm also posting. Be warned- It is very garlicky. Also, use less pepper if you're using all beef instead of lamb.

Extremely easy to make. I let the meat marinate for about an hour before broiling, and serve it with tzatziki. Thanks so much!

    These were wonderful! We ate them like Greek burgers on English muffins (as I didn't have any pita bread).

    This is one of those recipes that I really find exciting! Probably because I start out feeling skeptical about making it... I don't know what I was expecting, maybe that it would taste like meatballs or an Italian meatloaf or something. Plus I was using all beef. Well I'll be a Greek chef if it didn't start smelling EXACTLY like gyros as it broiled away in the oven! I could hardly wait to slice them up! I made them precisely as stated in the recipe, but I did broil them longer as my patties were thicker.I also flipped them halfway through so that both sides would brown nicely. Shaye, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed these with homemade Tzatziki, thinly sliced tomatoes, and crumbled Feta cheese on warmed pita bread. I'll be making these VERY often, and next time will probably try the 1/2 beef 1/2 lamb combination for even more authentic Greek flavor. Thank you so much for a fabulous dinner last evening that is still being talked about today!

    I've made a recipe similar using 3/4 ground beef and 1/4 ground pork. I also add 2 TBSP finely chopped fresh basil. I roll into the center of each "burger" sliced feta cheese and broil or fry on a grill pan. The added flavor of basil and feta is really yummy!
