1½ cup Beef, Ground
1 large Onion, Chopped
1 large Green Pepper, Chopped
8 ounce Mushrooms, Sliced
2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
2¼ pound Tomatoes, Undrained
12 ounce Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Basil
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 Bay Leaf
¾ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
1 pound Spaghetti
2 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1 cup Bread Crumbs

In a 5 qt dutch oven, cook the ground chuck, onion, peppers, mushrooms and garlic over medium high heat, stirring often to break up lumps of meat, until beef loses its pink color, 8 mins. Add chopped tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, bay leaf and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 20 min.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of lightly salted water, cook spaghetti until just tender, 9 minutes. Drain well.

Preheat oven to 350f. Add spaghetti, and stir in half the cheese to mix. Transfer to a lightly oiled very large baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and remaining cheese on top. Bake until top is lightly browned and casserole is bubbling, 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
