Four-Pepper Meatloaf

1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce, divided
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar (see NOTE)
1 teaspoon dry mustard (see NOTE)
1 1/2 pounds 95 percent lean ground beef
1 cup soft whole-grain bread crumbs (about 1 1/2 slices)
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup red or green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup tomato sauce with brown sugar and dry mustard; set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining tomato sauce with remaining ingredients, mixing thoroughly but lightly. Shape into an 8-by-4-1/2-inch loaf on a rack coated with cooking spray and place in a broiler pan. (Spread set-aside sauce over loaf, if desired.) Bake 1 hour or until a thermometer inserted into center registers 160 degrees. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
