Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Toss in chopped bell peppers and onions, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Stir in the can of diced tomatoes (drained) and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. In a baking dish, layer the beef mixture evenly, then add one layer of pepperoni slices. Top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure to drain the diced tomatoes well and excess grease from the cooked beef. You can also substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken, and add additional veggies like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrients. Experiment with different cheeses or toppings to customize your dish!
