INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 slices sugar-free bacon

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat which can make it tough.

• 4

  Form the mixture into a compact rectangular loaf shape and place it on 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 the meat to secure them.

• 7

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

• 8

  Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the bacon and broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the bacon is golden and crispy.

• 9

  Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure it stays juicy.
