Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1 piece Large egg
• 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Additional BBQ sauce (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, the cooked onion and garlic mixture, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf roughly 9 inches long and 4 inches wide.

Step 5

Spread the 1/2 cup of additional BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create the glaze.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy meatloaf.

Step 8

Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious BBQ-ed meatloaf with your favorite side dishes.
