Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef or turkey

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes, no added sugar

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups sliced bell peppers (any color)

1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

1 cup black olives, sliced

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.

      Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

        Combine Ingredients: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

          Add Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet and mix everything together.

            Layer in Casserole Dish: Pour half of the meat mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture, then finish with the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then slice and serve hot!
