How to Make This Italian Beef Recipe

Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Set the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Cook the meat until it is no longer pink and is crumbled. Drain and set aside.

In the same skillet, add olive oil and cook the celery, garlic, peppers and green onions over medium heat. Cook about 4 to 6 minutes until it has softened.

Add the ground beef back to the skillet and add lemon juice, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garbanzo beans, and water. Mix everything together and simmer for about 3 minutes.

Move the beef mixture to the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
