The loaf should be in the middle of the pan with room on both sides for the sauce to pool.
• Red Pepper Sauce:
• Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Cover the meatloaf with the sauce and allow excess sauce to pool around the meatloaf.

Bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake 45 minutes longer. Let rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
