Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or oil.
Cook the Meat
- Heat a frying pan on medium. Cook ground beef until fully browned.

Add Cheese
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the top. Make sure cheese covers all.
Add Pepperoni
- Place pepperoni slices evenly on top. Optional, but adds flavor.
Bake the Casserole
- Bake in preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
Cool and Serve
- Let casserole sit 5 minutes before serving. This helps it set and slice easily.
Notes
- Use any veggies you like, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
- Try shredded chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
- Cover with foil if cheese browns too quickly.
- Add extra spices for more flavor.
- Make ahead and refrigerate; bake later.
