INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

1 tbsp almond flour

0.5 large egg

2 tbsp low-sugar BBQ sauce

0.5 cup chopped carrots

1 cup broccoli florets

0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, whisked egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, then shape into a compact rectangular loaf on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

• 4

  Wrap the bacon slices tightly around the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath to secure them.

• 5

  Brush 1 tablespoon of the BBQ sauce evenly over the top and sides of the bacon-wrapped loaf.

• 6

  In a separate bowl, toss the carrots and broccoli with the olive oil and the remaining salt and pepper.

• 7

  Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the empty side of the baking sheet.

• 8

  Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and the vegetables are tender.

• 9

  During the last 5 minutes of roasting, brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the meatloaf for a sticky, caramelized finish.

• 10

  Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted vegetables.
