INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 slices sugar-free bacon

1 large egg

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 cup cremini mushrooms

1 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, finely diced onion, chopped mushrooms, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, ensuring you do not overwork the meat to keep the texture light.

• 4

  Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it into the prepared baking dish.

• 5

  Brush the top of the loaf with half of the sugar-free BBQ sauce, then lay the bacon slices across the top, tucking the ends underneath the loaf.

• 6

  Bake for 35-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the bacon becomes golden and crisp.

• 7

  Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining BBQ sauce, and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
