Ingredients
MEATLOAF:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs or almond flour
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
TOPPING:
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a wire rack.
PREPARE THE MEATLOAF:
- In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add the onions and garlic to a large bowl and mix in the ground beef, bacon crumbles, eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a loaf and place on the wire rack, leaving some space in between each loaf.
ADD THE TOPPING AND BAKE:
- In a medium bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Spoon onto the top each loaf, spreading evenly to cover.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Notes
- Freezing instructions: to freeze raw, prepare the shape the meatloaves. Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and then foil. Place in a sealed container and freeze for up to 6 months. When ready to bake, prepare topping, allow meatloaves to thaw in the refrigerator. You may need to add a little more baking time if the meatloaves are very cold. To freeze after baking--- cool, then wrap and put in a container. Thaw and re-heat.
