- Remove from heat and stir in the tomato paste and coconut aminos. Set aside to let cool.
- Place ground beef, ground bison, almond flour, 2 beaten eggs, and plenty of salt and pepper (to taste) in a large bowl. Add in the onion mixture, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash the mixture or the meatloaf will be dense. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine all of the "for the sauce" ingredients, stir to combine.
- On a prepared baking sheet, pour out meat mixture and shape into a rectangular loaf. Once the meatloaf is formed, arrange the bacon slices on the meatloaf, overlapping slightly and tucking the ends under the loaf to prevent curling.
- Spread ½ of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread another ½ of the sauce over the top. Bake for another 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 155°F.

About the recipe creator, Lauren Kubik!
Hiiiii! My name is Lauren Kubik and I’m from Atlanta, Ga. I have a few obsessions in life; my friends and family, my labradoodle Anakin “Annie” Skywalker (she’s the best), and cooking food that tastes good and is good for you! Ever since I can remember I’ve had an affinity for the kitchen. Learning how to transform food into different dishes by using different spices and/or techniques fascinates me. I’ve learned from my Gram, my mom, my dad and myself the fundamentals of cooking and gained the confidence to adventure and explore different realms of the culinary world which have molded me into the cook I am. When asked “what’s your favorite food to cook?” My response is all food!
