Tip

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

I have made this several times. Sometimes I use half ground beef and half ground venison. It comes out excellent either way.

I made this recipe while my husband's parents were visiting. My Father in law discovered it while reading through an old stack of Taste Of Home magazines I've collected. We enjoyed it with very much along with a couple of Taste Of Home side dishes. When the meal was over my Mother in law commented that the meal was restaurant quality! Thank you for another fabulous and unique recipe.

Made this recipe tonight; my husband and I both loved it. I used half lamb and half beef. Yum. I froze one of the loaves to eat another time. I will be making this one again. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

At first I wasn't sure I'd like this with all the different ingredients but... it was really tasty. My family enjoyed the different twist to meat loaf.
