I think to make this with a Greek flare would be to use ground lamb with delicious melting graviera Greek cheese topped with some feta. That would take this recipe over the top.

I made the meat mixture and stuffed them raw popped in oven with foil for 1st half hour then last 20 minutes without foil. Why dirty all those pans! Great dish!
