Lamb Meat Loaf Gluten Free

In the spring,  I start thinking about preparing lamb.  My family has been celebrating Passover for several years and the leg of lamb or lamb chops my mom prepares taste soooo good. But I was wanting to make a meat loaf and started going through some of the family's vintage cookbooks. This recipe sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try. Lamb Meat Loaf Gluten Free The meatloaf I am most familiar with is pretty basic, but the feta cheese in this recipe sounded intriguing. I was not disappointed.  The cheese added extra moisture and a creaminess I did not expect.  I am not a big fan of black olives but they paired very nicely with the cheese and spices. Lamb Meat Loaf Gluten Free My daughter gave me "the look" when she discovered this was not our typical meatloaf.  BUT, I have a rule, you have to try a food before you decide you do not like it. She tried her first bite of this lamb meatloaf and a shocked smile appeared on her face.  Let's just say, I thought I might have some leftover meatloaf to try on some gluten free bread as a sandwich the next day, with say, mayo, lettuce and tomato....didn't happen!!  She must have snuck some hungry teenage friends, because I had no leftovers the next morning!! Lamb Meat Loaf Gluten Free   This lamb meatloaf is so juicy with the perfect blend of spices, olives and feta cheese. Lamb Meat Loaf Gluten Free This recipe is going in my repeat file! Maybe next time I'll make the sandwich first!
