Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground lamb
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, breadcrumbs, eggs, red onion, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense meatloaf.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan, pressing it down to ensure a compact and even shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and tomato paste to create a simple glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or brush.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the meatloaf into thick slices and serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, tzatziki sauce, or a side of Greek salad.
