Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° and have ready a rimmed sheet pan lined with foil, preferably nonstick foil.
In a large bowl, use a fork to mix together breadcrumbs, salt, chili powder, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the milk, egg, Worcestershire, and liquid smoke and mix once more.
Add the ground beef and minced onion and mix with your hands until all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and shape into a narrow loaf (the meatloaf will spread as it bakes).
Pour half of the BBQ sauce over the meatloaf and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully pour over the remaining sauce and bake an additional 25 minutes.
Allow the meatloaf to rest about 15 minutes before slicing into. Serve and enjoy!
