Ingredients
  

8 oz spaghetti

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) pizza sauce

1 cup sliced pepperoni

1 cup bell peppers, diced (red and green)

1 cup black olives, sliced

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.

        Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent.

          Add the pizza sauce, sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, black olives, Italian seasoning, and cooked spaghetti into the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

              Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously on top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

                Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

                  Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                    Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
