Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking pan.

  2. Pour the pizza sauce over the beef, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top of the sauce.
  4. Add sliced tomatoes and black olives on top. Finally, sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Baking
  1. Bake the dish until the cheese melts, bubbles, and turns lightly golden around the edges.
  2. Let it rest briefly before cutting and serving.

Notes

Serve warm, right out of the oven with sides like garlic bread or a salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
