INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice sugar-free bacon

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic clove.

• 3

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

• 4

  Mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat which can make it tough.

• 5

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

• 6

  Cut the bacon slice in half and lay both pieces across the top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends slightly underneath.

• 7

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

• 8

  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 9

  During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the top for a tacky, glossy finish.

• 10

  Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure it stays juicy.
