Gyro Meat

1 lbs ground Lamb

1 lbs ground hamburger 80/20

1 small onion

1/2 cup plain bread crumbs

1 1/2 tsp salt

3 tsp greek oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp pepper

Mix all the seasonings in a small bowl. Put the onion in food processor and pulse to make the onions finely chopped.  Put the lamb and hamburger in a large food processor, add seasoning and turn the food processor on to blend the seasoning and meat to a nice paste.

Put the meat in a loaf pan. press it down flat to get all the air out of it.  

Now you can cook it or wrap it up and put it in the refrigerator to blend the flavors.  

To cook it, turn on the oven to 350 degree.  Cook uncovered for 30 minutes.

Take the loaf out of the oven, take the meat out of the loaf pan and put the top side down on a larger cookie sheet pan with sides.  Cook the meat another 30 mins to brown all the other sides.  

After the meat cooked for 1 hour. Take it out of the oven and let cool.  

Now slice the meat and start building your Gyros.  Get really good pita bread, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and white onions. 

Enjoy!!
