INGREDIENTS

4 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 slices uncured bacon

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tsp garlic powder

0.5 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 medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, ensuring the spices and binder are evenly distributed without overworking the meat.

• 4

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

• 5

  Drape the bacon slices over the top of the loaf, tucking the ends underneath the meat to secure them.

• 6

  In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, and coconut aminos until smooth.

• 7

  Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the bacon-wrapped loaf.

• 8

  Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the top.

• 9

  Return to the oven and continue baking for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the bacon is crisp.

• 10

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