INGREDIENTS

7 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.5 tbsp almond flour

1 large egg

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 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 large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, finely diced yellow onion, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 4

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

• 5

  Brush 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free BBQ sauce evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.

• 6

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

• 7

  Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the bacon.

• 8

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

• 9

  Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices intact.
