Lamb Pita Pizzas

Consider the grocery store your sous-chef: Pitas make a faster crust than pizza dough, canned artichokes taste great, and ready-made hummus can't be beat.

  • 1/2 pound ground lamb or beef
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

    I love this recipe! The only thing I'd recommend is cooking it for 16-18 minutes instead of the 20. When I leave it in past 18 minutes, the edges start to get burnt.
