As a stay-at-home parent, it can be hard to manage cooking meals that are both tasty and nutritional. That’s why I love this beef and red pepper casserole – it’s an easy and delicious meal that my whole family enjoys.

The story of this dish goes back to when I was young. My grandmother used to make a simple beef casserole in her kitchen. It was always a favorite of mine, but she only made it a few times, so I never really learned the recipe. When I had my own family, I wanted to recreate that delicious dish so I could share it with them, so I began experimenting with different ingredients. That’s how the beef and red pepper casserole was born!

This meal is hearty and flavorful, thanks to the combination of ground beef, red peppers, onions, garlic, tomato sauce and cheese. It’s also easy to make – all you need to do is brown the beef in a skillet before adding all of the other ingredients and baking them together in a 9×13 inch baking dish. The result is a savory and cheesy casserole that gets rave reviews from my family every time I make it!

To make this delicious dish at home, you will need:
•1 pound lean ground beef
•1 medium onion, diced
•3 cloves garlic, minced
•1 red bell pepper, diced
•1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
•2 tablespoons tomato paste
•1 teaspoon dried oregano
•Salt and pepper to taste
•2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
•1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned (about 7 minutes). Drain any excess fat and return skillet to heat.
3. Add onion and garlic to skillet; cook until onion is translucent (about 5 minutes). Add bell pepper; cook an additional 3 minutes.
4. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir until combined. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
5. Place mixture in 9×13 inch baking dish; sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cover with foil; bake for 15 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top; bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot. Enjoy!
