Slow Cooker Faux Gyros
I have scaled this down, but I usually make one and a half times this amount in two crocks. It's not the same as the gyros on a spit, but it's remarkably similar and delicious.
2 pounds ground beef
2 pounds ground lamb
4 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons (regular) paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 chopped onions
14 cloves garlic, minced
juice from 4 lemons, strained
Mix together meat, oregano, paprika, and salt until thoroughly and evenly combined.
Place onions and garlic in the bottom of a crock pot. Shape meat mixture into a football type loaf. Pour lemon juice over all of it. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours. Slice and serve with onions and juices in Khoubz Araby (Pita Bread) or with rice, and salad.
My daughter and her two babies are coming to visit in a couple of weeks. I know she loves gyros, first becoming acquainted with them at a small restaurant near her home when she was living in Germany. I think she and I will try your recipe while she's here.
