Pulse onion in a food processor until finely chopped, about 5 (1-second) pulses. Scoop onions onto the center of a towel, gather up the towel ends, and squeeze to remove liquid.
Combine onions, lamb, beef, Onion and Seasoning. Mix with your hands until well combined. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Evenly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Transfer mixture into prepared loaf pan, and pack down to make sure there are no air pockets.
Bake in the preheated oven until gyro meat is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees
