Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or gently coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, crumbled Grissini (if using), minced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Shape the mixture into a small loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, prepare the homemade ketchup by whisking together the tomato paste, stevia drops, apple cider vinegar, water, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder (if using). Adjust sweetness and tanginess according to your taste preference.
Spread half of the ketchup mixture evenly on top of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for serving.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160Β°F (71Β°C) and the meat is fully cooked.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve sliced meatloaf with the remaining ketchup on the side. Enjoy your delicious, HCG Phase 2 friendly meal!
