Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds of ground beef approx
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 small avocados
  • cheese of your choice
  • bacon raw and sliced thin
  • G Hughes sugar-free bbq sauce

Instructions
 

  • First, we cut all the avocados in halves and removed the pit of each.
  • Then we peeled the avocado skins off of each half.
  • I cut a cube of hatch pepper cheese to place in the center of each avocado.  I guessed at the size of each and added a bit more to fill the center completely if needed.
  • I divided the ground beef into 4 different sections evenly.  I seasoned the ground beef before I used it with salt and pepper.
  • I molded the ground beef sections around each full avocado after it was stuffed with cheese.
  • Then I layered thin-sliced raw bacon around each beef bomb until it was covered completely.
  • We grilled them on the outdoor grill for about 30 to 40 minutes.  The size of the avocado will depend on how long you grill it.  You need to make sure the ground beef and bacon are completely done.  The very center of the avocado will heat just enough to melt them cheese.
  • I would highly suggest you use the smaller avocados for this dinner idea.  By the time you layer all of these ingredients, they will be way bigger than you imagine.
  • Another tip about the avocados.  Make sure they are not completely ripe when you use them.  They need to be a little hard.  If they are too ripe, they will be too soft for you to mold the ground beef around.  (go ahead and ask me how I know this - LOL)  Besides, did you know that avocados will ripen with heat?  They will.  You can put an avocado in the oven on a low temp (200 degrees) to speed up the process.  You will need to cover each avocado with tin foil before heating it in the oven.  That was a neat little trick I learned a long time ago.
  • Finally, when the avocado beef bombs are almost done, baste them with the sugar-free bbq sauce.
