• ½ large red onion, minced
• 2 tablespoons dried greek oregano
• ¾ cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, minced

Instructions

1. 1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. 2) Place all of the ground meat in a bowl, and mix in the onions, garlic, oregano and breadcrumbs.
3. 3) Add the eggs, ketchup, mint, parsley, salt and pepper and vinegar. Gently mix together with your hands. When it is well combined gently fold in the feta cheese and then place in a loaf pan.
4. 4) In a small bowl mix together the ketchup, mustard, cayenne, cinnamon, smoked paprika, brown sugar and vinegar and mix until smooth.
5. 5) Brush the mixture onto the top of the loaf, and place in the oven. (You may want to place a sheet pan underneath the loaf to catch drippings).
6. 6) Bake until the center of the loaf reaches about 160 degrees, about 45 minutes, and then remove from the oven. If the top of the loaf gets too dark, then cover it with foil and continue to bake.
7. 7) Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
