This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Didn't taste quite like a real gyro but it was a nice variation and fun to try it in the crock pot.
I would love to try this recipe, however it calls for ground meat, then it says slice it thinly. I don't think I know how to slice ground meat thinly.
I think when Sarah says to "Mix lamb, turkey, oregano and salt together; place on top of onions" she means form into a meatloaf-like mass. That way the mixture will be sliceable when cooked.
