Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, barbecue sauce (reserve 2 tablespoons for later), and chopped onion. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
Spread the reserved 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
