Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the 8 jalapeños in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and membranes, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 0.5 lb ground beef, 4 oz cream cheese, 0.5 cup cheddar, and 0.5 tsp salt until well combined.
Step 3
Stuff each jalapeño half with the meat mixture, mounding it slightly. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the filling is browned and the peppers are tender.
Step 4
Sprinkle the 2 tbsp chopped cilantro over the hot jalapeños and serve warm.
