Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Spray a 10-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Add beef, pork, grated onion, 2 cloves garlic, egg, oats, garlic salt and garlic powder to a large bowl and mix by hand until combined. Press half of meatloaf into the bottom of the loaf pan, leaving a slightly indented well in the middle, running its length. Place 1/4 cup of the cheese in the well. Tuck in 4 slices of bacon. Finish with 1/4 cup of cheese, and top with the rest of meat mixture, pressing down to make a cohesive loaf and seal in the fillings. Place in oven to bake.
