Ground Beef Gyros

Absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, these are MUST TRY. Like tomorrow.

Or on your next week’s meal plan.

This is a simple ground beef that is browned and simmered in a delicious lemon-vinegar based sauce that packs a powerful flavor. And it balances nicely with the soft, yet slightly bland, naan or pita bread.

Top it all off with some onion, cucumbers and tzatziki sauce and WHOA. You’ve got yourself an amazing weeknight supper, and all the plates at the table will be polished.

This one is a new family fave at our house. And I hope it becomes one at your house too. Enjoy!
