BBQ Meatloaf "Royal with cheese" and Bacon!

I bought my Kamado Joe BBQ smoker because they say you can cook anything in it. So i decided to try one thing that everyone have eat at least one time in their lives, meatloaf. I don't especially love meatloaf, I find that often too dry, so to prevent that ( yes i was inspired by a certain sausage from my Gourmet Hog recipe!) i added cheese to make it juicier  and bacon to make it tastier ( every thing is tastier with bacon!)
Preparation: 30 min
Pickling: none
Brining: none
Cooking: 2 1/2 hour


Ingredients

3 pounds Ground beef
1pound  Bacon
1/2 pound Shredded cheddar cheese
1.5 Cups Bread crumbs
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Ketchup
1/4 Cup  Mustard
1 Large onion
Maple syrup

Preparation:

  1. Cook the bacon and cut it into medium to large piece
  2. Mix the bacon, beef, eggs, cheese, bread crumbs and 1/3 of the Ketchup and mustard mix.
  3. slather the whole thing with the rest of the Ketchup/Mustard mix
  4. Cook it in the Kamado in a veggie basket (or any BBQ) at 275F until it reach 150F
  5. Meanwhile fry the onion and add a little maple syrup at the end.
  6. When the meatloaf have a 150F internal temperature, place fried onions on top and let in cook until it reach 165F internal temp.
Notes: I find that a Kamado is the best device to cook it, it gives the particular charcoal taste to the whole thing.
