Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dice the red bell pepper, yellow onion, and carrots into small, uniform pieces. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Toss the diced vegetables and garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, roasted vegetables, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until the ingredients are just combined; avoid overmixing.
Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan and press it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and honey to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
