MM's Stuffed Meatloaf (Mac and Cheese, Bacon, and Mild Chopped Green Chiles)

I have made this twice for my good friend, Jerome who tore it UP, and now have had requests for the recipe, so here it is!!
(makes one loaf)

1&1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 frozen package of the lowest sodium you can find mac and cheese, thawed
4-5 slices of pre-cooked bacon
1 small can chopped mild green chiles
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1 egg, lightly beaten with a fork
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
A couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 t. Mesquite Seasoning
1/2 t. Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper

Mix the beef, onion, egg, milk, Panko, garlic, Worcestershire, mesquite, and S&P together with your hands in a large bowl. Put half of the mixture in the bottom of a loaf pan. Layer the bacon, mac and cheese, and chiles on top. Put on the other half of the meat, and push down sides and ends to seal. Season with S&P on top, and more mesquite. Cover pan with foil. Bake at 350 for 45 mins. Remove foil. Bake another 15-20 mins. You may have to drain the grease from the pan. Take a peek. When done, remove from oven, and let sit for at least 10 mins. Slice and serve!!!
