Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 medium-sized green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, quartered

Preparation

Step 1


•Preheat oven to 375 degree F.

•In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms, and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring to crumble the beef, until no pink remains; drain excess liquid.

•Add remaining ingredients except cheese; mix well. Place in a 2-1/2-quart casserole dish, cover, and bake 22 to 25 minutes.

•Remove casserole from oven, uncover, and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted.
