Preheat oven to 350°F.
Reserve 1/4-cup tomato sauce.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, remaining tomato sauce, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, garlic salt and pepper. Mix lightly but thoroughly.
Divide mixture into thirds and shape to form three loaves, each about 1-1/2 inches thick. Place on rack in open roasting pan.
