Ingredients

Scale

For the Meatloaf:

  • 2–2.5 lb grass fed ground beef
  • 1 cup almond meal/flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 11 sliced uncured bacon, 2 sliced cooked and diced

For the BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 (6oz) can tomato paste
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water or broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple butter (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard (no sugar added)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • pinch or two of ground cloves
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • splash of hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Dice up your 2 pieces of bacon and throw in a frying pan to cook up for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. While the bacon is cooking, mix together all other ingredients (except for your 9 slices of bacon) in a large bowl. Once your 2 pieces of bacon are done cooking, add them to the bowl and fully incorporate into the mix.
  4. Now grab 2 bread loaf pans and add an equal amount to both. Top the meat off with bacon.
  5. Cook for 45 minutes.

While the meatloaf is cooking, make your BBQ sauce!

  1. In a large frying pan, add some olive oil (or other fat) and brown the onion–about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and stir together to cook a bit more.
  3. Add all other ingredients and mix together, then let simmer for 10-15 minutes (or longer if you have time-I usually want to eat as quick as possible).
  4. Now plop that sauce on top of your meatloaf and store the rest in a cute Tupperware container in the fridge.
