Instructions
	1.	Make the Meat Sauce:
Heat oil in a large pan. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Stir in marinara sauce, water, and remaining seasonings. Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

	4.	Assemble the Casserole:
Toss cooked spaghetti with the Alfredo sauce until fully coated. Spread evenly in a deep baking dish. Top with the meat sauce, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top.
	5.	Bake & Serve:
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, then broil for 3–4 minutes until golden and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
