In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 7

Top the casserole with the chow mein noodles, spreading them across the surface in an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the diced green bell pepper evenly over the noodles.

Step 9

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
