Gyros
I love Greek food and this didn't disappoint. Jared gave them a 6 and I gave them a 7.5. The recipe calls for pork, but I used chicken since I prefer that in gyros. I didn't do anything to the meat beforehand, but just threw it in the crockpot with everything it calls for. The recipe came from halfbakedharvest.com. Also, since I used chicken instead of a big pork roast, I cut the dry seasonings down by half.
