  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Remove any excess fat.
  3. Add the diced onions and garlic to the skillet with the meat and sauté for a few minutes until the onions are translucent.
  4. Add the diced bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  5. Stir in the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, and Italian seasoning to create the topping mixture.
  7. In a greased 9×9-inch casserole dish, spread half of the meat and vegetable mixture.

  9. Add the remaining meat and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese layer.
  10. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the casserole.
  11. Finally, evenly distribute the almond flour topping mixture over the top.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
