INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 slices Nitrate-free bacon

1 tbsp Almond meal

1 large Egg

2 tbsp Sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.25 cup Yellow onion

1 clove Garlic

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a small baking dish with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond meal, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 3

  Mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 4

  Shape the beef mixture into a compact rectangular loaf and place it in the center of the prepared baking dish.

• 5

  Brush 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

• 6

  Lay the bacon slices across the top of the loaf, tucking the excess ends underneath the meat.

• 7

  Bake for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F.

• 8

  Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the bacon during the last 5 minutes of baking to create a tacky, caramelized glaze.

• 9

  Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick portions.
