Ingredients

• 1½ lb (680 g) ground beef

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.

5. Assemble the Bake

Transfer the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake

Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

7. Garnish and Serve

Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
