Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any drippings.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, beaten egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring a nice blend of flavors.
- Shape the meat mixture into a compact loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Carefully wrap the bacon slices around the meatloaf, slightly overlapping each slice to ensure even coverage and a crispy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
- Serve warm, enjoying the contrast of the crispy bacon and the tender, flavorful meatloaf.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding herbs such as thyme or parsley to the meat mixture.
