PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

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

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

  Shape the beef mixture into a uniform loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

  Wrap the bacon slices around the loaf, overlapping slightly and tucking the ends underneath.

• 6

  Brush the top and sides of the loaf with 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free BBQ sauce.

  Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, brushing with the remaining tablespoon of BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes.

  While the meatloaf rests, steam the green beans for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.

• 9

  Slice the meatloaf and serve alongside the steamed green beans.
