Step:
In a pan, warm the oil and add the green pepper and onion. Fry until onion is translucent.
Preheat an oven to 180 degrees celcius
Add the ground/minced beef to the same pan and fry until brown. If it gets too dry, add tablespoons of water at a time until you are satisfied with the meat.
Add the pasta sauce to the meat and stir. The aim is to get the meaty juice into the sauce for all the great flavour.
Now it's time to layer. In a large baking tray, start off with a thin layer of the bechamel.
Then add a layer of pasta sheets
Then some of the meat
Then a pasta layer
Then some bechamel and cheddar cheese
Then some pasta
Then more meat and some cheddar cheese
Another pasta layer
Then more of the bechamel
Then the rest of the cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese
Top it off with some herbs and pop it in the oven for 35-45 minutes
Remove from the oven and let it set a little, because if you try and scoop it out straight from the oven it falls apart.
