Cheeseburger Pita image

David came up with this recipe yesterday for our oldest son's return from Band Camp. Our son said the camp food was something akin to packing materials and was nothing but sheer torture! In honor of our son the family burger fiend and since David was making pita pizzas anyway, he decided to combine the two into this recipe. Needless to say, our son absolutely devoured the cheeseburger pita and asked for more the next day. We hope you all enjoy it as much as he did! (But do try to eat it a little more slowly, okay? ;D)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheeseburger pita turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the beef.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called a cheeseburger pita. It's more like a sloppy joe pita.

This was the best cheeseburger pita I have ever had! The pita bread was so soft and fluffy, and the cheeseburger filling was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This cheeseburger pita was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the beef had been cooked on a grill instead of in a skillet.

I used ground turkey instead of beef in this recipe and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped onion and green bell pepper to the filling.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the pita bread.
