It’s a dish that you’ll definitely enjoy during weekend barbecues, and maybe even when there’s no occasion but to splurge. It’s meaty, it’s flavorful, and it will definitely impress your buddies.

“And you know the neighbors are smelling it. They’re going to want to jump that fence.”

Ingredients

A serving is made up of a whole avocado wrapped in ground beef and bacon. Depending on the number of servings you’ll make, you can measure how much of each ingredient you will need.

  • Fresh whole avocados
  • Ground beef (preferably ground chuck)
  • Bacon (regular cut)
  • BBQ Seasoning (BBQ Pit Boys SPG Seasoning used in the video)
  • Cheddar Cheese

The recipe

This dish is made of three layers, the bacon wrap, the beef meat ball, and the cheese stuffed avocado halves.

1. Put the avocados by making a lengthwise cut. Then hold the knife steady and rotate the avocado, cutting around the pit.

6. Put the two avocado halves together to secure the cheese filling.

7. Take some ground beef and make a big patty by flattening it out on your working surface or plate. The size should be big enough to wrap around the avocado.

8. Wrap the ground beef around the avocado until it looks like a big meatball with an avocado stuffing.

9. Cover the meatball with strips of regular cut bacon. You can overlap the bacon a bit to seal the ground beef in.

10. Put them over the grill. You are looking for around 350 degrees Fahrenheit to cook it, but do not cook directly over the flames.

11. Take it off the grill when the bacon is done.
