Mediterranean Meatloaf

Mediterranean Meatloaf is a big change-up from the normal meatloaf you may be used to. But it is so amazingly delicious with the addition of sundried tomatoes, feta, roasted peppers, olives and more.

Besides tzatziki, you can also pair this meatloaf up with a gorgeous Greek Salad and lemony Skillet Greek Potatoes. Also try our amazing Greek Spinach Pie (Spanakopita).

Ingredients in Greek Meatloaf 

This can also be called Greek Meatloaf. We served this with tzatziki, and it was so good. All those wonderful flavors of the Mediterranean came out to dance together in your mouth. Such an easy recipe too!!

You may have some of these ingredients kicking around if you enjoy Mediterranean meals. I already had gorgeous black sundried olives and roasted red and yellow peppers. Then I found sundried tomatoes, feta, garlic, and sweet onion. Used the traditional ingredients like breadcrumbs and egg for binding, and this turned out to be one fine meatloaf. Hubby was highly impressed with the flavor; he loved it!! (And doesn’t like lamb!!!)

Recipe Ingredients

Ground lamb or beef – I have made it with both of these meats, and either is delicious.

Eggs and fine breadcrumbs – These are used as binders to help hold the meatloaf together.

Sundried black olives – You can use kalamata olives also, but I recommend a good quality olive from the deli section.

Sundried tomatoes – I always buy these packed in oil.

Crumbled feta – Adds a salty, cheesy vibe to the meatloaf.

Roasted peppers, finely diced – You can roast your own or use jarred.

Garlic and sweet onion – These add the robust flavor that the meatloaf needs. You can use yellow onion also if you can’t find the sweet onion.

Salt and pepper to taste – Needed like in so many dishes for seasoning.

Making Mediterranean Style Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients using your hands to mix well. I like to use a claw method with my hands, as it lightly mixes the ingredients without overmixing them.

Place in a loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with lemon potatoes, Greek salad and tzatziki.

FAQs

To keep the meatloaf from being overmixed, I always use a claw-hand to mix the meat and ingredients together. Never overmix the meat.

Substitutions

You can substitute other ingredients like the black olives for green olives, the garlic for dried garlic, the onion for onion powder, etc.

You can also add in herbs like parsley, thyme or oregano to the meat mixture, but honestly, they aren’t necessary for flavor.

Storage

Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days in an air-tight container. You can freeze it up to 3 months.
