Ever since I bought 1/4 of a cow, I’ve been on an unstoppable meatball streak. I mean, when life hands you 80 pounds of beef, what else are you supposed to do? And these Greek meatballs… they’re absolute game-changers. They’re juicy, feta-stuffed beauties with just the right amount of Mediterranean spice. Paired with golden roasted potatoes, a fresh cucumber salad, and some creamy tzatziki, this meal prep is downright sinful—and still clocking in 66g of protein per serving. If you’re on the meatball wave like me, this one’s a must. Get in there and make it happen.

Instructions

Using your hands, gently mix together ingredients until uniformly combined.2 large eggs, 1 medium onion, 2 lbs lean beef, 6 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cumin, 8 oz feta cheese
- Shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (you’ll make roughly 32 balls) and place spaced apart on one of the large baking sheets.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, & garlic powder. Stir until well-combined, then spread in an even layer on your second baking sheet.1.5 pounds golden potatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- Place baking sheets in preheated oven. Bake 15-20 minutes or until meatballs are nicely browned and cooked through at 165°F & the potatoes are fork tender. Prepare tzatziki & cucumber salad while meatballs & potatoes bake.
For the Tzatziki:
- Mince the garlic, finely chop the herbs, & grate the cucumber.3 cloves garlic minced or pressed, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Combine garlic, grated cucumber, drained yogurt, mint, dill, black pepper, and olive oil to medium bowl. Stir well to combine all ingredients, then taste and adjust salt as needed. Set aside.1/4 teaspoon salt to taste, 1/2 medium cucumber, 1 cup plain yogurt drained, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Cucumber Salad:
- Dice tomato & cucumber, then combine with salt & olive oil in a small mixing bowl. Gently stir to distribute ingredients, then taste and adjust salt as needed. Set aside.1 cup grape tomatoes, 1 cup diced cucumber, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt
Assembling & serving:
- Remove the meatballs & potatoes from the oven, discarding any excess fat. Evenly divide the meatballs & potatoes into four separate servings, then serve with tzatziki & a side of cucumber salad!PRO TIP: For meal prep purposes, I like to store my cucumber salad & tzatziki sauce separate from the main course. Microwaving the cucumber salad produces excess water & warm tzatziki sauce doesn't taste the same. I recommend storing these in a small container or zip loc bag, then adding as a topping with extra feta cheese after re-heating the entree!

Greek meatballs are a bold and protein-packed meal prep option that brings Mediterranean flavors straight to your kitchen. This recipe features juicy meatballs seasoned with oregano, garlic, and a touch of cinnamon, stuffed with creamy feta cheese for a deliciously savory bite. Paired with golden roasted potatoes, a fresh cucumber salad, and a tangy homemade tzatziki sauce, these meatballs are as satisfying as they are flavorful.
This recipe is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit your preferences. Swap the ground beef for turkey, lamb, or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian alternative. You can also experiment with the sides—try quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option or add roasted veggies like zucchini and bell peppers for even more variety. Whether for dinner or meal prep, these Greek meatballs offer endless possibilities.
To store Greek meatballs, divide them into meal prep containers along with the potatoes. Keep the tzatziki and cucumber salad in separate containers to maintain their fresh flavors and textures. Refrigerate for up to four days. Reheat the meatballs and potatoes in the microwave in 90-second intervals, stirring halfway through. For freezer storage, freeze the meatballs and potatoes, then thaw and reheat when ready. Visit our blog for more high-protein, Mediterranean-inspired meal prep recipes.
