INGREDIENTS

7 oz grass-fed ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice sugar-free bacon

1 large egg

0.5 tbsp almond flour

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper.

• 2

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

• 3

  Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat to keep the texture light.

• 4

  Shape the mixture into a uniform rectangular loaf and place it in the prepared baking dish.

• 5

  Lay the bacon slices across the top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath the loaf for a clean look.

• 6

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

• 7

  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F.

• 8

  During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the remaining tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the top to create a sticky glaze.

• 9

  Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
