Palmetto Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, quick oats, onion, eggs, minced garlic, barbecue sauce, milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix until combined.
2. Line a 9”x5” loaf pan with saran wrap with an extra six inches on each side to be able to wrap up the loaf.
3. Fill the loaf pan with half of the meat mixture and press down until it’s spread out evenly.
4. Add Palmetto Cheese to the center of the meat leaving at least an 1-1/2 inches on all sides.
5. Top with the remaining meat mixture and press gently into the pan to cover the pimento cheese on all sides.
6. Lift up the plastic wrap to cover the meatloaf and freeze for two hours to firm it up.
7. Remove from the freezer and remove the plastic wrap. Place on a sheet pan or foil lined rack for your grill.
8. Wrap the loaf in bacon, making sure the ends are tucked under the meatloaf.
9. Sprinkle with your favorite barbecue rub(optional).
10. Place on the grill or a 300F oven for an hour and a half or until your meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
11. In the last 20 minutes, brush with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce.
12. Pull it off the grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve!
