Gyro Meatloaf

From Taste of Home



Ingredients:
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pounds ground lamb or ground beef
1 cup refrigerated tzatziki sauce

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble lamb over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with tzatziki sauce.

Comments:
This was really good. I used beef and skipped the tzatziki, but the meatloaf had really good flavors. I'm a sucker for spinach hidden inside of something else and the oregano just makes the whole house smell wonderful.
