2 cups cooked pasta (e.g. penne or elbow macaroni)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are tender.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.

Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
