This Greek meatloaf is a healthy meatloaf recipe with oregano-scented ground beef, herbs and vegetables, all wrapped in grape leaves.

Give meatloaf a Mediterranean treatment with this weeknight-friendly Greek meatloaf recipe! Wrapping the meat in grape leaves makes not only a show-stopping presentation, but it also keeps the meatloaf extra juicy as it bakes. Who's trying it?!

[@shelleysgg9855]

I am so happy to have you and your recieps in my life. I have your book, thank you for sharing your delishous homestyle food with us. U am trying your meatloaf tomorrow night for Saturday night dinner. Can't wait. I just love you.💁‍♀

[@tonisteilechner259]

what could we use instead of grape leaves. Very difficult to get where we live

[@philsouthus1]

The leaves are a wonderful idea. I will definitely try this

[@CuriousinNY]

I’m trying it tonight. I just got home from buying the ingredients. I even found the grape leaves. I’ll let you know how it turns out. By the way, I love your pans. Who makes them? Where can I get some. I’ve been needing new ones for a while now.

[@PlanetC64]

Grape leaves are a symbol of hospitality. I love that. This is now my Meatloaf 2.0

[@toddyoshino3590]

Oh my! That looks fabulous! I can't wait to try it. ALL of your recipes are amazing. Thanks Suzy!

[@davidlocker1190]

This looks so good! Throw some lemon potatoes on the side, and this would be perfect. Thank you for sharing. I'm making this dish for my family 😊

[@franceshampton8767]

I've never seen this chef before, but I absolutely love her honest style of speaking and presenting. Also love how she is cool with using her fingers to push ingredients into a pan (ie: garlic, onions). It's how she cooks in her own kitchen just like my mama. So happy I found her as I was just looking at her cookbook online before I discovered the program on YT!! BTW, her aunt Gertrude comment is hilarious!!

[@nakedreef]

You always make me smile. 💞 Thank you! ☺

[@user-df5nc1ew1q]

This looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to make it for my family! Thank you Suzy!!!

[@kimslyffnow11]

Oh, this looks so good! I can’t wait to try it. I’m online right looking to find some grape leaves and I’m going to make the taziki sauce with it, too. Thank you for this wonderful looking recipe

[@user-zi7yx9uc3t]

This dish looks so delicious! Yam!👍

[@Hitsong13]

I used to use grape leaves on a special recipe, please give us more of them. Might jolt my memory! Making this for company coming. Yummm

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

Find canned or jarred grape leaves preserved in brine in the international section of your grocery store or online, I ordered these from Amazon: amzn.to/3ui8cE3

[@guerdafrazilus291]

[@zenaidaguevarra3393]

[@Judy-lnwinter2024]

My Mom used grape leaves just like this 😊

[@leonardmartingeraghty5079]

Oh Darling that is pure heaven...so good...to die for !!! 😂❤

[@phillipsmom6252]

Delicious 😋

[@vickyfrazier3981]

This will be the recipe to try for my next meat loaf. By the way, I just gave a friend a gift of your cookbook and a bundle if spices of my choice (loved that they came in a box), he loved it! ❤

[@corylombard]

Love the presentation, always great verbiage, and slick sense of humor...LOVE YA! Going to try with ground chicken! ❤Hugs!!!

[@MsCrazycatlady]

I made it with ground turkey. The mint makes it special

[@PlanetC64]

I was just going through my emails & YAY!

[@MsCrazycatlady]

This will be my go to meatloaf recipe!

[@MsCrazycatlady]

Oh, I’m also going to add on the side little yellow potatoes highly seasoned and roasted

[@citygirldc]

"I don’t have an Aunt Gertrude" 😂😂😂😂

[@edithaviland8461]

Yumm

[@Ramyapad19]

[@sueblake100]

Thank you. We have nothing like that in Scarborough.

[@Hitsong13]

Lemon potatoes? Please explain. I love these recipes. Thanks

[@rivabenzikri77]

I don't know your recipe is awesome you're not screaming as your usual self and your hubby is not there helping you. I hope you're feeling fine because you're not screaming❤❤

[@Hitsong13]

I wish I could see the Visual. The voice print out however, covers it. I love your recipes.😅

[@jeanbrewer576]

Can you use fresh grape leafs

[@LB-kv6lc]

I let my vegetables cool off before adding to the meat and less salt.

[@eliz_]

Could ground turkey be subbed for the beef? Or would that throw off the recipe too much?

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

Sure!

[@debrapoot5434]

Hi, Suzy....Love your recipes, but where on your site is this greek meatloaf recipe?

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

Hi! Here it is: www.themediterraneandish.com/greek-meatloaf-with-grape-leaves/

[@jessicaprzydzial5972]

😅where did you get that egg tray?

[@sueblake100]

Where can I get Greek leaves in the UK please?

[@runnerphile1997]

Middle Eastern or mediterranean specialty markets, and I think whole foods have them too

[@Goggans]

I use riced cauliflower instead of bread (you can’t taste it and egg isn’t required)

[@quixotic7460]

This is like a giant sized sarma

[@vennexx]

I'm gonna do a mix of lamb and beef. Also mix some green olives Into the meat. Then, instead of Ketchup, I'm gonna use mustard, Worcester and honey. Plus Parm. Always aff Parm on top.

[@teresaakers1191]

Was that a skunk that walked past that glass door?

[@ValerieIamacanuck]

Too bad your products are not sold in Canada. Makes me sad.

[@BouncingFaces]

It's a giant gubebi.

[@iwantalbuquerque7770]

It looks like one giant dolmas 🙂

[@ScubaStephen]

You shouldn't add the garlic in with everything else. It will overcook.

[@harrodsfan]

You really are a Hasan - aki 😆

[@francesdambrosia8593]

You use way too much salt
