Ingredients

1 tablespoon Fustini's Medium SELECT olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons Fustini's Vinoso vinegar, divided
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated parmesan
2 eggs
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
6 thin strips of bacon

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and celery and cook until soft 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano and chili powder and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Turn off heat and deglaze the pan with 1 tablespoon vinegar and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, vegetable mixture, cheese, almond flour, Parmesan, eggs, remaining vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Shape into a large loaf in the baking dish and lay the bacon slices over the top.
Cook until the bacon is crispy and beef is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F), about 1 hour. If bacon is cooking too quickly, cover dish with foil. When done, remove and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
