How to Make Bbq Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork), 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing.
Shape the meat mixture into a 7 x 5 inch loaf on a wire rack placed inside a roasting pan. This allows for even cooking and prevents a soggy bottom.
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
