Looking for new recipes I came across this idea online. The original used meatloaf and had an egg inside, when I tried it it was a huge mess. I simplified it a little and changed the egg to cheese. I hope you enjoy it.

Steps

1

Half the avocados and remove the pits and skins. I found the best way to get the flesh out of the skin in one pice is to use a large spoon.
2

Chunk your cheese so the pice fits into the avocado's pit hole. Put the halves back together with the cheese inside.
3

Season your ground beef, I used salt and pepper. Portion into thirds.
4

Lay out the beef in a thin patty. Lay the avocado down and fully wrap it in the beef. It takes a little work and a soft touch, but eventually you have a sealed meatball.
5

Wrap the bacon around the ball in alternating directions. I used about 5 strips per ball don't use too much because the inner bacon will stay soggy. We want the bacon to crisp up.
6

Set your grill for indirect heat ******very important**** if you have fire under your balls it will flair up. There is a lot of grease coming off these so be careful.
7

Add your wood chips smoking for about 35min about 300 degrees
8

After about 35 min brush on the BBQ sauce every 10min or so until done.
