Simple meals that are packed full of flavour and already portioned. Yep the easiest dinners! :) These thermomix mini greek meatloaves are exactly that with the ThermoFun Greek Seasoning Blend plus the feta and olives in the middle. Deliciousness!
If you are feeling a little adventurous you could make little meatballs stuffed with feta and olives for lunch boxes as well. I actually enjoyed the meatloaf cold the next day with a greek salad. However you choose to eat these mini greek meatloaves you won't be disappointed!

This is a delicious dish, I also used the almond meal instead of the bread, just for a different flavour. I customised the vegetables for each family member in the middle of each meatloaf. I added some of the spinach leaves with the capsicum, so it mixed in with the meat as I have a reluctant vegetable eater. The other filling I used was mushroom with feta instead of olives. This would make a great dinner party dish as you can make it ahead of time. Thank you for a great recipe.

As I follow Low Carb, Healthy Fat, I replaced the breadcrumbs with the equivalent amount of almond meal. This worked beautifully.
