Baked Spaghetti

I got this from a friend that I work with, it is fairly easy to make, and my kids love it!! Personally I like it better than lasagna....


Preheat oven to 350

6 oz thick spaghetti
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 bell pepper (chopped)
1 lb. ground beef
15 oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2 small can tomato paste
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. oregano
Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Cook spaghetti according to directions on package.
Brown hamburger meat and saute bell peppers and onions together. Drain fat.
Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, simmer uncovered 10 minutes.
Spray 9x13 glass baking dish with Pam.
Layer 1/2 spaghetti noodles in baking dish then pour half of meat mixture over top - repeat.
Mix mushroom soup with water and stir until smooth. Pour over top then sprinkle with Parmesean cheese.
Bake at 350 30-35 minutes
Sprinkle mozzarella over top during the last 5 minutes of baking.


I have posted this recipe just as it was given to me, however, it is easy to modify and make your own. I always use more spaghetti noodles than it calls for and I always add fresh garlic (of course I pretty much add garlic to everything! No vampires in this house!!)
