Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and red bell pepper. Cook until the ground beef is browned and the vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef mixture, diced potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), cooked pasta, and shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping). Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth. Pour this sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Little Bit of Everything Casserole!
