Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 10 slices Whole30 compliant bacon
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 celery stalk
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Finely dice the onion, carrot, and celery, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray. Sauté the onion, carrot, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéed vegetables, almond flour, egg, tomato paste, coconut aminos, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape it into a loaf, about 8 inches long by 4 inches wide.

Step 6

Wrap the bacon slices crosswise over the entire surface of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath the loaf.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) is reached.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete Whole30-compliant meal.
