- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and diced bell pepper until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and cover with aluminum foil.
