There are 2 versions of this recipe on this blog. If you are going for easy, this is not the one, but it sure tastes good!

1 c. chopped onions
1 c. chopped green peppers
1 TB. butter or margarine
1 (28oz) can tomatoes with juice, cut up
1 (4oz) can mushrooms w/stems (I usually omit because I hate mushrooms!)

2 tsp. dried oregano
1 lb. hamburger, browned (ground beef)
12 oz. spaghetti, cooked and drained
2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Saute onion and green pepper in butter until tender.
Add tomatoes, mushrooms, olives and oregano. Add ground beef. Simmer uncover for 10 minutes.
Place 1/2 spaghetti in a greased 9x13x2 in baking dish. Top with 1/2 vegetable mixture and sprinkle with 1 c. cheese.
Repeat layers.
Mix soup and water until smooth, pour over casserole. Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese.
