Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the feta cheese, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.

Lightly oil a 9&#215;13 inch baking dish.<\/li>\n<li>Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, allowing it to overhang the sides slightly; brush with olive oil or melted butter. Repeat with four more sheets, brushing each with oil or butter.<\/li>\n<li>Spread the meat mixture evenly over the phyllo base. Cover with the remaining phyllo sheets, oiling each layer, including the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Fold the overhanging dough over the top and brush with more oil or butter. Score the top lightly in a diamond or square pattern to allow steam to escape.<\/li>\n<li>Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until golden and crispy.<\/li>\n<li>Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Phyllo dough dries out quickly; keep it covered with a damp cloth when not in use.<\/li>\n<li>For a variation, add spinach or other vegetables to the filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Nutritional Information per Serving (Based on USDA Guidelines):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calories: 450 kcal<\/li>\n<li>Protein: 20g<\/li>\n<li>Carbohydrates: 30g<\/li>\n<li>Fat: 28g<\/li>\n<li>Fiber: 2g<\/li>\n<li>Sodium: 500mg<\/li>\n<li>Sugars: 2g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Greek Meat Pie (Kreatopita) Recipe brings a hearty and savory delight from Greece right into your kitchen.
