Stuffed meatloaf is packed with flavor and perfect for family dinners. This particular recipe calls for green bell peppers and feta, however you can tailor the stuffing to your liking. Add tomato slices, swap out the feta for another salty cheese, or skip the peppers and feta altogether and use hard boiled eggs (particularly popular in Greece). Bake with potato wedges and you've got an easy one pan meal.
Ingredients (Serves 6)

For the meatloaf mixture
  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped mint or 2 teaspoons dried mint
  • 2 medium size garlic cloves or 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 5 ounces feta

For baking
  • 6-8 medium size potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups water

Time - 1 hour and 50 minutes
  • Preparation - 20 minutes
  • Baking (350 degrees) - 1 hour and 30 minutes

Preparation
  • If using fresh mint, wash and finely chop
  • If using fresh garlic, peel and mince
  • Combine the ground beef, mint, garlic, bread crumbs, salt, water, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Note that depending on the type of breadcrumbs used, the recipe may call for more or less water. Add the water 1/2 cup at a time. After adding the first 1/2 cup, hand mix all of the ingredients together. The mixture should be wet but solid enough that you can mold it.
