Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup black olives, sliced

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or sausage) until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent.

      Combine Ingredients: Stir in the diced bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

        Layer the Casserole: Spread half of the meat sauce mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then layer half of the sliced olives and half of the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat with the remaining sauce, olives, and finally top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan.

          Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil (to avoid too much browning) and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve hot.
