For Meatloaf: Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add red pepper, green pepper, onion and salt; cover and cook over low heat until very tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Combine bread and milk in large bowl; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Add beef, crumbs, ketchup, egg, hot pepper sauce and sweet red pepper 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.

Integrity is not a 90 percent thing, not a 95 percent thing; either you have it or you don't.
