Ingredients

908 gm	Beef, ground (ground)
1/2 cup grated	Carrots (shredded)
1 cup	Parsnip (shredded)
1 bunch	Curly kale (sliced thinly)
3 clove(s)	Garlic (minced)

1/2 medium	Yellow onion (minced)
1/4 cup	Flaxseed meal (ground)
1 tsp	Salt (sea)
114 gm	Bacon (uncured)

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the beef with all of the ingredients except for the bacon. Using your hands, massage gently to combine thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan, using your hands to press it into the bottom and sides of the dish.
Arrange a few slices of bacon across the top of the mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and the loaf has reached an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Set aside to fully cool and allow the meat to reabsorb any liquid released during cooking.
