- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the BBQ Glaze:
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan. - Prepare the meatloaf mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. - Shape the loaf:
Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the baking sheet or press it into the loaf pan. - Make the glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. - Add the glaze:
Spread half the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. - Bake:
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). About 10 minutes before it’s done, spread the remaining glaze over the top. - Rest and serve:
Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or cornbread for a BBQ-inspired meal.
