GROUND BEEF GYROS
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

GROUND BEEF GYROLL
Instead of using pita bread this is made with pizza dough using ground beef, mushrooms, feta cheese and olives rolled into a pizza crust, you can substitute the feta for 2 cups (or more or less) mozzarella cheese if desired.

EASY GROUND BEEF GYROS
From the Texas Beef Council posted for the Greek portion of the Zaar World Tour. Feel free to up the seasonings on the beef if you like it really flavorful. As Saraghina states, leftover roast would be great here too!
