Ingredients

3 lb ground chuck roast
3 pita pockets, cut in half
6 large mushrooms, sliced
1 large sweet onion, sliced
1 lb mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

1. Form patties as you normally would, cut off 1/3 of the top part of patty.
2. Slice onions and mushrooms. Grill in a grilling basket or on a flat slotted grilling pan. Toast pita pockets on grill.
3. Grill burgers as you normally would to your preference of doneness. Just as they are done, place grated cheese on top and close grill. Allow about two minutes for cheese to melt. We grill these over hickory wood, soooo good.
4. Add mushrooms and onions on top and place patties with cheese in your pita pocket.

"Years ago, my mom converted a stuffed pepper recipe into this easy pita sandwich that calls for leftover rice," relates Becky Floyd of Riverside, California. "I've loved it since I was a kid, and now it's one of my husband's favorites, too." TIP: "For added convenience, use frozen diced green pepper and onions," advised Becky.

I serve this tasty variation on the traditional hamburger at backyard get-togethers. Similar to Greek gyros, the herbed ground beef patties are stuffed in pita bread with a yummy cucumber lettuce mixture. -Dorothy Wiedeman, Eaton, Colorado
