Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray your bread loaf pan with nonstick spray. In a large mixing bowl add ground beef, almond flour, ketchup, tomato paste, eggs, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Using your hands or a spoon, mix ingredients until all ingredients are incorporated.
On a large piece of parchment (18 to 20" long), press the meatloaf into a rectangle that is as wide as your pan (around 8" to 9" is standard), and at least 10" to 14" long. Take care to make sure the meatloaf mixture is pressed together really well. Layer cheese, dried onions, bacon, and pickles on top.
Lift up the end of the parchment paper, carefully rolling the meatloaf lengthwise, pressing and tucking as tightly as possible as you go (without losing ingredients). Leave the meatloaf on the parchment paper and carefully lift the meatloaf and place it into the pan, seam side down. Gently pull the parchment out from under the meatloaf.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until meatloaf reaches 160° F temperature in the center.
