Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground lamb
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, and breadcrumbs.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it in until fully incorporated.
Add the minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill to the bowl.
Season the mixture with oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture and blend everything thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small, oval-shaped loaf.
Place the mini meat loaves on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat loaves are browned on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meat loaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of tzatziki sauce, roasted vegetables, or a Greek salad for a complete meal.
