Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground lamb
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.75 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 4 Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground lamb, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, minced garlic, chopped onion, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, and parsley. Mix gently to create the stuffing mixture.

Step 5

Transfer half of the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it evenly into the bottom, making a shallow well down the center.

Step 6

Spread the spinach and feta stuffing mixture evenly into the well, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges to prevent leakage.

Step 7

Top with the remaining meat mixture, pressing down gently to seal in the stuffing and smooth the surface.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy complement to the rich Mediterranean flavors.
