Feta Stuffed Meatloaf

- 500g/1.1lb ground beef blend
- 250g/8.8oz feta cheese
- 250g/8.8oz cherry tomatoes on the vine
- 3 snack peppers in assorted colors
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 egg
- 60ml/2fl oz heavy cream
- 15g/1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 15g/1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 15g/1 tablespoon tomato puree
- 90g/3.2oz sun-dried tomatoes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Green salad for serving
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C, making sure it's warm and ready for the meatloaf.
2. In a large, sturdy bowl combine ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, a single egg, a splash of heavy cream, a sprinkle of dried oregano, sun-dried tomatoes chopped into smaller pieces, concentrated tomato puree, sliced snack peppers, a finely chopped onion, a pinch of fresh thyme, salt, and coarse black pepper.
3. Use your hands or a trusty wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together until they just come together in a cohesive mass; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough meatloaf.
4. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or use your hands to shape it into a sturdy loaf shape directly on a baking sheet.
5. Slide the meatloaf into the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F or 71°C.
6. Once the meatloaf is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven and let it rest undisturbed for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly and serving with a refreshing side of green salad.
