For an enhanced flavor, marinate the ground meat mixture for a few hours before baking. Serve with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions for a complete gyros experience. The cooked meat loaf can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
