INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

1 large egg

0.5 tbsp almond flour

0.25 cup 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

1 cup green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, almond flour, 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 make it tough.

• 4

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

• 5

  Wrap the bacon slices over the top and sides of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath.

• 6

  Brush 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the bacon.

• 7

  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 8

  While the meatloaf bakes, steam the green beans until tender-crisp.

• 9

  Brush the remaining tablespoon of BBQ sauce onto the meatloaf and broil for 2 minutes to crisp the bacon.

• 10

  Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the steamed green beans.
