How to Make Holiday Spaghetti

  1. Chop 1 medium onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms. Brown in a large skillet with 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
  2. Continue browning until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are softened (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Cook 1 lb spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Transfer the cooked spaghetti to a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  8. Pour the tomato mixture over the spaghetti in the baking dish.
  9. Top with the browned hamburger and vegetable mixture.
  10. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  11. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
