1lb grass fed ground beef

1 yellow onion, diced

¼ cup of diced celery

½ cup diced carrot

1 red pepper, diced

¼ cup tomato sauce

1 egg, whisked

½-¾ cup almond flour

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons of olive oil

¾ cup tomato sauce

½ cup fresh basil, chopped

½ teaspoon of garlic salt

3 pieces of unprocessed bacon (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 400°F (204.4°C).

Place a medium skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon or two of olive oil.

Add your onions, red or green pepper, celery and carrots to the pan, cook until all have become soft and translucent. Carrots take a little longer or they may be al dente.

Add this mixture into a bowl along with the rest of the ingredients and the ground beef.

Use your hands to mix it all together.

Put ingredients on a lined baking sheet and wrap with bacon lengthwise.

Stretch bacon so that you can tuck underneath the loaf.

Bake for 30 minutes at 400º F (204º C), then take out and turn oven to 500º F (260º C) to get bacon crisp.

Place back in oven, this should take 5 minutes longer.

Enjoy!
