Ingredients;
1 lb. lean ground lamb or beef
1/2 c. chopped onion (1 medium)
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1/3 c. bulgur
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 c. shredded romaine lettuce
6 kaiser rolls, split and toasted
4 oz. crumbled feta cheese with tomato and basil or plain feta cheese


Directions:
In a large skillet, cook ground meat and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender.  Drain off fat.  Stir in tomato sauce, bulgur, oregano, salt and pepper.  Bring to boiling; reduce heat.  Simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.


To assemble, arrange romaine on bottom halves of rolls.  Spoon meat mixture on romaine.  Sprinkle with feta cheese; replace top halves of rolls.


Note~ Bulgur would be found in the grocery store by the rice or beans but would be easier to find at an ethnic grocery store.  It is made from several types of wheat and is parboiled.  This is not to be confused with cracked wheat.  If you want to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgur
