Baked Spaghetti


This is a recipe of Kellie's that we had at her house a while back and I still remember how good it was! Just got the recipe to blog it and I had this old picture, so here you go!!

What you need:
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 TBS margarine or butter
1 28oz can diced tomatoes (with liquid...dont drain)
1 6oz can sliced black olives (drained)
1 6oz. can sliced mushrooms (drained)
2 TSP dried oregano
1 lb ground beef or chicken (cooked and drained)
12 oz. spaghetti (cooked and drained)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 or 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

What you need to do:
Saute Onion and green pepper in butter until tender. Then add tomatoes(with liquid) mushrooms, olives and oregano. Then add cooked and drained ground beef. Simmer on low for anout 10 minutes. Place about half of cooked spaghetti in a greased 13x9 casserole dish. Then top with half of veggie/meat mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers (sometimes I just make 1 layer and sometimes I do 2 layers....it depends on how much I make and the size of the casserole dish I am using! Then mix soup, and water and heat then stir til smooth. Pour over casserole. Sometimes I end up using 2 cans, again depending on how mow I'm making and the size of the dish. The soup with just make it creamier so it cant hurt to add more! Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese and bake uncovered at 350. Heat about 45 minutes or until heated through.
