Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the center of your prepared baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to create the glaze.
Brush a layer of the glaze over the top and sides of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for basting later.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf and return it to the oven for another 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, and enjoy!
