This Fried Greek Meatballs with Feta are a favorite recipe that I have made many times over the years! And if you look around my blog, it’s clear that I’m a big fan of Greek food. I don’t know if this type of meatball is authentically Greek, but it is certainly packed with Greek flavors.

And these meatballs are an easy dish, so you don’t have to think about a diet. You can serve the meatballs as a main course, but they also quickly disappear on a party buffet table.

I would like to point out that because the meatballs do not contain bread crumbs or oatmeal, some liquid will seep out of the meat during cooking. Just expect this to happen, and you can even scoop the liquid a few times if necessary. And if you are patient and just keep cooking the meatballs even though the pan may look like a mess, the finished Greek meatballs will be so delicious!

What gives the meatballs a Greek flavor?

I love all the ingredients used here, like feta cheese, oregano, garlic, onion, and red wine vinegar, and those ingredients really give these meatballs a great Greek flavor.

Can the Greek Meatballs be frozen?

These meatballs can certainly be frozen. They will keep in the freezer for a few months in a well-sealed container and can easily be reheated in the microwave or in a pan on the stove. If you can, I would thaw them first before reheating them.
