INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 slice sugar-free bacon

1 large egg

0.5 tbsp almond flour

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 cup green bell pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, ensuring the spices and vegetables are evenly distributed without overworking the meat.

• 4

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

• 5

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

• 6

  Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

• 7

  Remove the dish from the oven and brush the top of the bacon-wrapped loaf generously with the sugar-free BBQ sauce.

• 8

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

• 9

  Allow the meatloaf to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to ensure it stays juicy.
