2 tbsp. ghee
7 tbsp. Tessemae's BBQ Sauce
2 lbs. ground beef
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup almond flour

When the onion mixture is cooled, add to the bowl. Mix lightly using a fork, and don't mash or the meat will be dense. Using a 3/4 measuring cup, scoop out meat mixture and shape into mini loaves on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Continue until all of the meat are shaped into loaves, it makes 6 loaves. Spoon 1 tbsp. of BBQ sauce onto the top of each loaf and spread to coat the top. Sprinkle the top with a little kosher salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a meat thermoter reads 155 degrees when inserted into the center of the loaf. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy!
