Oven-Baked Meat Lover's Cheese Delight with Hot Honey Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

- 1 cup hot honey tomato sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 pound pork, ground
- 1/2 pound chicken, ground
- 1/2 pound beef, ground
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese sauce
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup roasted green peppers, chopped
- 1 cup caramelized onions

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to properly heat up while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

2. Prepare the Meat Trio: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground pork, chicken, and beef. Cook the meats, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked, approximately PT10M (10 minutes). Drain excess fat.

3. Incorporate Sauces: Add the hot honey tomato sauce and marinara sauce to the cooked meat. Stir well to combine and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for PT5M (5 minutes) to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Layer the Dish: In a large baking dish, start with a layer of half the meat sauce. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and provolone cheese over the sauce, followed by an even distribution of pepperoni slices, roasted green peppers, and caramelized onions.

5. Add More Flavor: Pour the cheddar cheese sauce evenly over the ingredients in the dish.

6. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of the remaining meat sauce followed by the remaining mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, roasted green peppers, and caramelized onions.

7. Add the Final Touches: Top the dish with parmesan cheese and sliced pepperoncini peppers for extra kick.

8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for PT25M (25 minutes) or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

9. Rest: Allow the dish to cool slightly for PT5M (5 minutes) before serving to enhance flavors.
