Perfect - except I added black olives to make it REALLY Greek.

Thanks, Chef Dee for another excellent recipe

I used ground lamb instead of beef and because the only crackers I had were (heavily!) garlic flavored, I left out the garlic powder. I halved the recipe and baked at 350F in an 8x8 pan for 42 minutes (until the meatloaf hit 160F). Delicious! Served with Microwave Corn in Butter Sauce and a salad. Thanks for the recipe!
