Ingredients
  

  • 340 g / ¾ lb bacon slices
  • 454 g / 1 lb ground beef
  • 454 g / 1 lb ground pork sausage
  • 1 medium onion finely grated (113g)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 30ml
  • 75 g / 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup barbecue sauce 80ml
  • 113 g / 2 cups mozzarella cheese cubed
  • 113 g / 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese cubed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the pellet grill to 107°C/225°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss grated onion into a large bowl along with juices. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, eggs, and dry rub.
  • Let breadcrumbs soak in a wet mixture for 5 minutes to absorb liquid.
  • Add ground beef and pork sausage. Mix well until combined. Stir in cheese cubes.
  • Shape the meat mixture into a loaf on the baking sheet. Lay bacon slices on top, slightly overlapping. Tuck ends under.
  • Brush BBQ sauce over top. Smoke for 2 ½ to 3 hours until internal temperature reaches 71°C/160°F.
  • 30-45 minutes before finished, baste meatloaf with more grilling sauce.

Notes

  • Can substitute breadcrumbs with crushed crackers or croutons
  • Do not overmix meat or it will become tough
  • Use thin-cut bacon so the fat renders properly
