A flavorful Greek Meatloaf infused with feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and oregano, offering a taste of Mediterranean cuisine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs and milk. Let sit for a few minutes to soften the bread crumbs.
  3. Add ground beef, egg, red onion, parsley, garlic, feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, 1 tsp dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the bread crumbs. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the meatloaf tough.
  4. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet (or press into a loaf pan).
  5. If making the glaze, whisk together ketchup, red wine vinegar, and 1 tsp dried oregano in a small bowl. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the meatloaf mixture to maintain tenderness.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a delicious tangy and savory finish.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing to help it hold its shape.
