INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 slice Uncured bacon

1 tbsp Almond flour

1 small Egg 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 your oven to 375°F and line a small baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

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

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat which can lead to a tough texture.

• 4

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

• 5

  Wrap the uncured bacon slices over the top of the loaf, tucking the ends underneath to secure them during cooking.

• 6

  Brush the top of the bacon with 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free BBQ sauce to begin the glazing process.

• 7

  Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush with the remaining tablespoon of BBQ sauce.

• 8

  Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 9

  Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure it stays juicy and holds its shape.
