While the oven is preheating, crumble the ground beef into a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the spaghetti sauce and, if desired, add Italian seasoning to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
