DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 200°C (180ºC fan). coat a medium baking dish with olive oil. In a medium pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and celery and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, and chilli powder and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Let mixture cool slightly.

• In a food processor or a large bowl, combine minced beef, vegetable mixture, cheese, almond flour, Parmesan, eggs, soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper. mix well and place into a large loaf tin, then cover with bacon.

• I use a Meater thermometer and set to 66 deg and it sorts the cooking time or Cook until bacon is crispy and beef is cooked through about 1 hour.

Any leftover is good served cold or fried with eggs the next day

NB. The Meater thermometer cost from £80.00 to £125 but IMHO it's worth every penny. In the time I have had it I've had no problems with the connection to the app and the cooks have been perfect, never over or under. I even use it when baking bread.
