Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup very finely crumbled feta cheese
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 large egg
1 T extra virgin olive oil
4 tsp. red wine vinegar
1 T dried Greek oregano
1 tsp. Greek seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Spray a glass baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Use a food processor to chop the onion very finely, then drain if it seems like there is a lot of liquid. Crumble 1/2 cup Feta cheese with a fork, until it’s finely crumbled. Put the ground beef into a bowl and add the finely chopped onion, finely crumbled Feta, minced garlic, egg, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Greek Oregano , Greek Seasoning , salt, and pepper. Combine with your clean hands until all ingredients are well-mixed. Use a one tablespoon measuring cup to scoop out meat; then roll it into balls with your hands and place in rows in the baking dish. Bake 15 minutes, after which time you will see some liquid oozing out. Turn meatballs and bake 10 more minutes. Turn again, and bake 5-10 more minutes more or until meatballs are well-browned and cooked through. Meatballs are delicious served with Tzatziki Sauce.
