Low-Carb Cheese & Capsicum Stuffed Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 500 g minced beef ((1.1 lb))
• 1 small yellow onion ((1.1 lb))
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup flax seed meal ((1.1 lb))
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos ((1.1 lb))
• 4 tbsp tomato passata ((1.1 lb))
• 1 tbsp dried mixed herbs ((1.1 lb))
• 1 capsicum (green)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese ((1.1 lb))
• 200 g sliced gouda cheese ((1.1 lb))
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese ((1.1 lb))

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F.
2. Place the ground beef, onion, garlic, eggs, flaxmeal, 2 tbsp of coconut aminos, 4 tbsp of passata and herbs in a large bowl and combine well by hand.
3. Line a baking tray with silicone paper and set to one side.
4. Place a sheet of silicone paper on your surface and tip the beef mix onto it.
5. Using your fingertips, push and pat the mixture into a rectangular shape, making sure that it is no wider than your baking tray (do not make it too thin or it will break during baking).
6. Once ready, place the slices of gouda over the beef, overlapping if required.
7. Sprinkle with capsicum and finish with the parmesan.
8. Starting on the short end of the rectangle, and using the paper to assist, start rolling the meatloaf up as tightly as you can.
9. Make sure that you peel the paper back as you roll, so that it doesnt get trapped in the roll.
10. Pinch the ends closed as much as you can to avoid the cheese oozing out too much.
11. Place the meatloaf, seam side down, on your prepared baking tray and cover with foil.
12. Bake for 15 minutes covered with foil.
13. Remove the foil and bake for a further 15 minutes.
14. Combine the baste ingredients in a small jug.
15. Baste with the baste and cook for a further 30-45 minutes, depending on how large your roll is.
16. Continue to baste as much as you like.
17. Enjoy warm or let it cool down and store, wrapped in foil, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze.
