For Meatloaf: Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add red

very tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Heat
oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.

mixture; toss gently to coat. Spoon and pat into prepared loaf pan.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Top each
serving with a dollop of Sweet Pepper Sauce and serve.

Sweet Pepper Sauce: Heat 1 tbsp oil in large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add the red pepper, green pepper, onion, water and salt; cook,
stirring occasionally, over medium heat until very tender, about 8
minutes. Stir in cider vinegar, brown sugar and mustard seeds; cook
over medium-high heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and sauce
is thickened, about 8 minutes.
