My family liked these. To make them more like traditional gyros, I served them with a cucumber dill sauce: sour cream, cucumber (grated in a food processor, then drained of excess liquid), salt, pepper, garlic, dill, and a little prepared mustard. We'll make this again. It was a nice change from regular burgers.
