Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb Ground beef
1 each, chopped Bell peppers (green and red)
1 medium, diced Onion
2 cloves, minced Garlic
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
2 cups Cheese sauce (prepared or homemade)
1 cup Shredded provolone or cheddar cheese
2 cups Cooked pasta (penne or rotini)
1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your casserole cooks evenly.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in chopped bell peppers, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, beef mixture, and cheese sauce. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Top with shredded provolone or cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set up a bit.
