Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (or other low-carb vegetables)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup tomato sauce (no added sugar)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic together until the beef is fully browned and the onions are softened, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add vegetables and tomato sauce: Stir in the diced bell peppers (or other low-carb veggies) and tomato sauce along with the Italian seasoning. Simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Prepare casserole dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in a greased casserole dish.
- Top with cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the top of the beef mixture.
- Bake the casserole: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes

- To reduce prep time, use pre-chopped vegetables.
