Bacon-Ranch Meatloaf

Bake the bacon, until dark and crispy. Drain, pat dry and crumble. (You can microwave or cook in a skillet, I just prefer the end result of baked bacon.)

Preheat oven to 350 F, for the meatloaf (if necessary.)

While the bacon is cooking, combine the ground beef, coconut flour or other binder, egg, crushed garlic, grated onion, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Once the bacon is cooked and crumbled, add half to the meat mixture and combine well.

Add the meatloaf mixture to 9x5-inch baking dish and then add the rest of the bacon on top, pressing lightly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until cooked through. Check after 45 minutes and cover loosely with foil if the bacon on top is looking dried out or darkened. (I didn't cover mine, but you might need to.)

Prepare veggies or fruit as side dish.

Serve Bacon-Ranch Meatloaf with side of veggies or fruit.
