Scale
- 6 jalapenos, seeded and sliced lengthwise down one side of the jalapeno
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 2 oz shredded cheese (any cheese will work)
- 1.5 lbs ground meat
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- OPTIONAL - Sugar-free BBQ sauce and additional shredded cheese as topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and shredded cheese and set it aside. In another medium-size bowl, combine the ground meat, egg, coconut flour, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper (if using) and stir everything together really well. Set it aside.
- Seed your jalapenos and slice them lengthwise down one side, keeping the other side intact.
- Take about 1 heaping tbsp of the cream cheese mixture and press it inside the jalapeno. Place 1 tbsp of the meat mixture and stuff it over the end where the stem was to lock the cream cheese inside the jalapeno.
- Next, take about 1/4-1/3 cup worth of meat and press it in the palm of your hand to look like a disc. Take a stuffed jalapeno, place it in the center of the meat and wrap the meat around the jalapeno
- Repeat with all the jalapenos.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- OPTIONAL - Remove the meatloaves and spread each meatloaf with some barbecue sauce and an additional sprinkling of cheese. Place the meatloaves under the broiler of the oven until the cheese just begins to brown.
