INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

2 slice center-cut bacon

1 large egg

0 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp 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 and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, finely diced onion, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of the BBQ sauce, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 4

  Shape the mixture into a compact rectangular loaf on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Wrap the bacon slices around the meatloaf, overlapping them slightly and tucking the ends underneath the loaf to secure them.

• 6

  Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the top of the bacon.

• 7

  Return to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 8

  Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute for a moist texture.
