Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
On a large piece of parchment or wax paper, spread the meat mixture into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick.
Lay the roasted red peppers in an even layer across the center of the meat mixture, leaving some space near the edges for sealing.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the roasted red peppers.
Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a loaf shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Seal the edges and place the loaf seam-side down in the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove it from the oven, spread the remaining glaze on top, and return it to the oven for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
