Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian Herb seasoning
• 1 pound Stemple Creek Ranch grass fed ground beef
• 1 pound Stemple Creek Ranch pastured ground pork
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup no sugar BBQ sauce (*we used Rib Rack No Sugar Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce)
• 9" springform pan or loaf pan

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Combine almond flour, parmesan, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef & pork, onion, green pepper, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper and almond flour mixture. Mix with your hands until well combined. *For best results, don't over work the mixture.
4. Line a sheet pan with foil. Put meat mixture into a 9"springform or large loaf pan, and pat to distribute evenly. Do not pack the meat down.
5. Top the meat mixture with no sugar BBQ sauce. Place pan on the foil lined sheet pan and bake on center oven rack for 45-55 minutes (until internal temperature reaches 160F).
