Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 500 g ground beef (Use a mix with a bit of fat for flavor)
  • 1 medium onion, diced (Yellow onion preferred for milder taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (Add an extra clove for more flavor)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (For added sweetness)
  • 400 g can of crushed tomatoes (Chopped tomatoes recommended for texture)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (You can never have enough cheese!)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (Mixed herbs from the farmer's market work great)
  • 1 tsp salt (Sea salt recommended for a posh taste)
  • optional pepperoni slices (Add for a 'pizza night' vibe)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it's cooked through.
  2. Toss in the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Leave to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with half the shredded mozzarella.
  5. Bake the casserole at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden.

This casserole can be served straight from the dish or paired with a fresh salad for balance. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
