For some reason my kids have never really liked meatloaf, and I have never understood that!  They like hamburgers without the bun…what’s the difference?!  Oh well, I decided to pull out a secret weapon to make this one; Bacon 🙂

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground pork

1/4 cup almond meal

2 Tbsp tomato paste

1 Tsp Onion Powder

1 Tsp Garlic Powder

1 Tbsp Salt

1 Egg Lightly Beaten

1 Pound of Bacon

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large mixing bowl mix beef, pork, almond meal, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and egg until combined.  Do not over mix.
2. Form meat mixture into a free form loaf on a baking dish lined with foil.
3. Wrap the loaf with the full package of bacon in any way you wish, just make sure it’s fully covered, and you use it all!
4. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until cooked through and bacon is crisp.
5. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
