This was a very good recipe. Instead of 3 pounds of beef, I used ground pork, veal and lamb. The meatloaf part was extremely easy to prepare, and turned out great. Instead of cutting it in thin slices, I cut each loaf in three and froze those parts separately. (A few days later…) After defrosting them in the microwave for about a minute, they were very easy to cut into thin slices. I then heated those on a frying pan. This is definitely a keeper, and I'm extremely delighted to have found this recipe. I was able to make 2 decent sized sandwiches with the 1/3 of a loaf. As a student, this is perfect: great taste, a change from the ordinary, very fast and easy to have a meal ready from frozen and it gives me a lot of meals. (in my case, 6) Thanks again 1Steve!

The best donair meat recipe! The only changes I make is I cuts the cayenne pepper and black pepper in half. Not a fan of really spicy but this makes it just perfect with the perfect amount of spiciness. My husband doesn’t like donairs that I buys in a restaurant but he loves these. Since I’ve tried this recipe, I haven’t bought a donair since...it’s that good.
