Preparation
Prepare the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix ground pork (6 oz) with egg (1), almond flour (1 Tbsp), chopped onion (1 Tbsp), minced garlic (1 clove), dried thyme (½ tsp), salt (½ tsp), and pepper (¼ tsp). Form into a compact loaf and place in a greased baking dish with ½ Tbsp butter. Bake for 25–30 minutes until fully cooked and golden.
Cook the green beans: While the meatloaf bakes, heat ½ Tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add green beans (1 cup) and sauté for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender. Season with salt to taste.
Make the cream sauce: In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream (2 Tbsp), butter (1 Tbsp), Dijon mustard (½ tsp), and garlic powder (½ tsp). Heat over low until warm and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve: Slice the meatloaf and drizzle with the warm cream sauce. Plate with sautéed green beans on the side. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.
