INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

2 tbsp almond flour

1 large egg

1 tbsp unsweetened BBQ sauce

2 tbsp unsweetened 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, finely diced yellow onion, minced garlic, almond flour, and the large egg.

• 3

  Add 1 tablespoon of the unsweetened BBQ sauce, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the meat mixture.

• 4

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat to keep the texture light.

• 5

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

• 6

  Lay the bacon slices over the top of the loaf, slightly overlapping them and tucking the ends underneath the meat.

• 7

  Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce over the bacon.

• 8

  Return the loaf to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the bacon is golden.

• 9

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