Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 pound Ground lamb
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, red onion, panko breadcrumbs, egg, and minced garlic.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Add the lemon zest and drizzle in the olive oil for added moisture and flavor.
Using clean hands (or a large spoon), mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the meatloaves dense.
Divide the mixture evenly among 12 muffin cavities, pressing it down gently into each one to form small individual meatloaves.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, let the mini meatloaves rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them. Use a fork or small spatula to carefully lift them out.
Serve warm with a side of your choice like garlic roasted potatoes, Greek salad, or tzatziki sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
