Ingredients
- 1/2 cup finely ground almond meal
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 6 strips of bacon
Instructions
- Begin by heating your oven to 350ºF and placing a parchment-lined baking sheet on a flat surface.
- Combine the ground beef, almond meal, zucchini, eggs, sea salt, black pepper, dill weed, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Shape the meat mixture into an oval or football shape on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the bacon strips on top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath.
- Spread half of the BBQ sauce over the bacon and meatloaf, ensuring it is evenly coated. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is thoroughly cooked in the center.
- After baking, brush the remaining BBQ sauce over the meatloaf. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
