1 pound ground beef
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix all ingredients together.
Roll the meat into a large ball; flatten into a round sort of meatloaf shape. Use a large knife to cut into eighths, like a pie. Divide each eighth in half and roll into a mini log shape. Lay them on cookie sheets (I used disposables). You can crowd them right next to one another.
When each cookie sheet is full, bake for about 7 minutes; turning the kabobs over in the middle.
When they are cool, pile them into an disposable foil baking pan (1/2 steam table size). Keep going until you're done; then freeze them.
On the day you need them, or one day before; remove from freezer and defrost in fridge. Every once in a while take the pan out a drop it on the counter to loosen them up so they separate. Grill as needed: 3 to 4 minutes.
Poster's Notes:
I make them small (16 to a pound), so they are sort of bite sized and can fit into a pita. Pre-baking them halfway makes grilling them at the party a snap - they take about 3 to 4 minutes on the grill - important when you're feeding a crowd.
I serve these with pita, hummous, techina, Israeli Salad, and a big tray of pickles and olives. Like I said, there were never any left.

1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup chopped parsley
I make these kabobs all summer and used to make them for a large July 4th party (125 of my closest friends). No matter how many I make, there are never any left. I think my record was about 550.
