Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook ground chuck, bell pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain well.

• Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.

• Bake uncovered, 45 minutes. Top with remaining cheese, and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven, and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into squares to serve.
