Spread a thin layer of extra BBQ sauce on top of the loaf for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the top is nicely caramelized.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Variations & Tips
For picky eaters, you can substitute the chopped onion with onion powder to avoid the texture of the onions. If you prefer a leaner option, ground turkey can be used instead of ground beef. For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce. You can also customize the BBQ sauce to your preference by using a smoky, sweet, or spicy variety.
