Diabetic friendly pizza meatloaf (gluten free)

I admit, this was inspired by the South Beach Diet's 'Pizza meat pie' recipe. It had elements to it that were just not going to work in my household. Stuff like mushrooms that I can't get my kids to eat at all, because they're a vegetable.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1 c almond flour
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp italian seasoning
1/4 c pizza sauce divided in half
1/2 c shredded mozzarella

Step one, mix together beef, eggs, almond flour, garlic, and italian seasoning until uniform. Add 1/2 of the pizza sauce and continue to mix until uniform. Pat into a loaf shape and place on a jelly roll pan. Carefully coat the top with the other half of the pizza sauce. Then top with the shredded mozzarella. Bake at 350 deg F for 45 minutes or until it reads as well done for beef with a meat thermometer.

Serves 4. Goes well with a nice green salad. The carb load in the original recipe that used breadcrumbs was 18 carbs per slice. I think this comes out closer to fifteen.
