Grilled Avocado Bombs

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.

Ingredient

avocados

chunks of cheese (your choice I used cheddar)

1 1/2 lbs

ground beef

15 strips

bacon

to taste

Salt and pepper

Cooking instructions

* Step 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.

* Step 2

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

* Step 3

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

* Step 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.

* Step 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.

* Step 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.
