Very good. I almost didn't do the layering with the pita, then I decided to go ahead and do it. I layered in a bowl, not a casserole dish, and added the ground meat. I had venison, not ground beef, so I used that instead. I did use the allspice--and if you are worried about it tasting weird, it doesnt. You can't really taste it at all. The whole thing is very good. I figured I'd like it--I've had something almost the same (it wasn't layered though) at a Lebanese restaurant and it was delicious--but it's nice to know I can make something very similar at home. We ate just this for our dinner; very filling. Thanks for sharing!

I messed this one up a little. I was trying to make it from memory after reading it the other night. I thought the whole dish had to be heated because I remembered 9x13-lol. It was really good though and I would make it again.

This was good and VERY different...But it also makes ALOT of food. I think next time I'll just make half of the recipe. My husband and I liked it but didn't eat any of the leftovers...Probably because I couldn't figure out how to reheat it. Hubby also thought the beef needed more seasoning. Sure is tasty though.

I have a very picky child who has added this recipe to her "list" of foods she will eat! I used the Hummus III recipe to make this casserole. With this recipe, the only problem was that I didn't know what was meant by tear the pita into pieces. I halved the pitas with a knife then separated the pitas. I also added ground turkey browned with minced onion and greek seasoning. Perfect dish for a hot summer evening!

Another great recipe, very authentic, thanks. I like to put ground beef on top of mine, so I cooked it that way. Also, make sure to have chopped onions or green onions on hand to chomp on with every bite of the casserole. Also, have halved lemons ready, some people prefer to squirt lemon on their own plate. I love adding more lemon on mine. Thanks! Just like my moms.
