Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground turkey
6 strips thick bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion (5 net carb)
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (3 net carb)
3 cloves crushed garlic (3 net carb)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt + extra to taste
1 teaspoon pepper + extra to taste
1/2 cup sugar free ketchup (8 net carb)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
3 cups green beans (8 net carb)
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix all the ingredients well except the ketchup and the bacon in a large mixing bowl.
3. Form the meat into a loaf and wrap with bacon strips making sure to terminate all the bacon strips on the bottom of the loaf.
4. Place the wrapped loaf on a large high sided cookie sheet.
5. Paint the ketchup over the top of the loaf and sprinkle the basil over the top.
6. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the center temp reaches 170 degrees.
7. Let stand on counter 1-20 minutes prior to slicing
8. While the meat is resting steam the beans till desired tenderness and drain well in a colander.
9. Place the saucepot back onto the stove on low heat and melt the butter.
10. Place the drained beans into the melted butter along with the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, remove from heat and plate.
11. Using a sharp knife slice your loaf so each serving has a piece of bacon wrapped around it and plate.
TIP- Cold meatloaf sandwiches with mayo are 1 of my favs. Wrap the meat in a large romaine lettuce leaf for a great lunch.

My husband is a bacon addict! :D He needs a 12 step program!! :D :D

Sign me up for that 12-step program too Umpa. hmmmmm Then again, I haven't hit rock bottom yet with my addiction, so the likelihood of me sticking to the program is probably aero; oh well, I will just have to live with it. It will be a burden I know, but one I am sure I can shoulder. ;)
