A quick and easy recipe with lots of flavour and a little kick. I use store bought Jerk seasoning sauce, it lasts for ages as you only need a small amount, Walkerswood is a great brand if you can find it. This Is great served with good old-fashioned mashed potatoes or even eaten cold the next day.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions, shallots, red pepper and Scotch bonnet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, garlic powder, ginger, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the beef and pork to the spice mixture and gently work them together. Gently work in the chilled vegetable mixture along with the egg, coconut milk, and just enough of the breadcrumbs to tighten it all up. Form the mixture into 12 meatballs.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 10 minutes.
- Combine the ketchup and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the skillet and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, another 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use ground turkey or chicken, but they may be a bit drier.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are evenly combined.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your meatloaf the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a jerk-seasoned meatloaf. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Conclusion:
Jerk-seasoned meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover meat, and it can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dinner recipe, give jerk-seasoned meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
