How to Make Church Supper Spaghetti

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a deep casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and green pepper. Crumble the meat as it cooks and cook until the meat is no longer pink. (If not using lean ground beef, drain the excess fat.)

Add the tomatoes, water, and chili powder. Cover the skillet and cook for 30 minutes.
To the skillet, stir in the corn, peas, and mushrooms. Season with salt and black pepper, as desired.
In a large bowl, combine the sauce with the cooked spaghetti.

Transfer half of the spaghetti to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the casserole with half of the cheese and then repeat the layers.

Bake the casserole for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly.

Tips Tricks and FAQs
