Low Carb Hot Crossed Meatloaf. Have you heard of hot cross buns? Well, this is my version of Hot Crossed Meatloaf. That beautiful bacon is courtesy of Ben Meyer butcher/owner of The Old Salt Marketplace restaurant here in Portland and right down the street from me. You won’t know this but I took a pig butchery class and my partner (lucky me) was Ben. I have, over the last several years, become more and more dependent on getting my meats from their butcher shop. I can’t begin to count the times I have had dinner with friends there and I have NEVER had anything that wasn’t to die for good. Their jowl bacon?-don’t even get me started. I had the bacon custom cut to ¼ inch thick and actually finished it with my torch. Whoa, what flavor. You will probably finish yours under the broiler but torched? Oh boy is it good.
