Breadcrumbs – We used plain breadcrumbs but Italian breadcrumbs could work as well.

How to Make Greek Style Meatloaf
Preheat the oven to 350° degrees. Then, mix the breadcrumbs, egg, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, parsley, dill, garlic, oregano, salt, and ground beef in a big bowl. Stir until everything is just combined, but don’t mix too much. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Put the meat mixture on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape it into a loaf.
Bake the meatloaf for 40-45 minutes or until the inside reaches 160 degrees. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Top Tip
When combining the ingredients, mix gently. Overmixing can make your meatloaf tough, and nobody wants that.
Storage
Storing
Got leftovers? Pop the meatloaf in an airtight container and stash it in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s perfect for quick lunches or an easy dinner later in the week!
Freezing
Want to save some for later? Wrap the meatloaf tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then freeze it for up to 3 months. It’s like having a delicious backup plan for busy nights.
Reheating
Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for up to 10 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
FAQ
The BEST tip I can give you in terms keeping the meatloaf nice and moist is to use a food thermometer and take it out of the oven when it reaches 160 degrees.
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly to evenly distribute the egg and breadcrumbs. If your mixture feels too dry, add a splash of milk or olive oil to bring it all together. Finally, let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes after baking—it helps it firm up and makes slicing easier!
