Equipment

medium sized pan
measuring utensils
medium sized bowl
broiling pan or sheet pan

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef lean
1/2 cup crushed pork rinds
1/4 cup bbq sauce any kind
1 large egg
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp minced onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp parsley optional

Glaze

1 tbsp brown sugar or sweetener of choice
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp bbq sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Crush pork rinds into crumbs. Use a small bowl to whisk egg and set aside.
Dump the ground beef, crushed pork rinds, egg and spices into medium to large sized bowl. Mix well. Mixing with hands works best.
Shape into appx 8 inch by 4 inch loaf and put on pan. I like a broiling pan so that the loaf isn't cooking in too much fat, but any sheet pan will work fine. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.
Make the glaze in a small bowl while meat loaf is baking. Brush on the loaf top, then bake an additional 20 minutes or until internal temp is minimum of 165 F. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into. Enjoy!

Notes

Leftover Storage: cool and store in air tight container for up to 4 day in refrigerator.

Freeze Leftovers: Cool and freeze in airtight, freezer safe, container for up to 3 months- thaw and warm in microwave.

Freezer Meal Prep: follow to step 3 but do NOT bake the loaf. Flash freeze in freezer and then wrap well and store in freezer bag or a loaf pan. Thaw completely and bake per instructions noted in recipe.
