1 (12 oz.) pkg. spaghetti
2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can mushroom slices or pieces
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 (10 oz.) pkg. mellow Cracker Barrel Cheddar cheese

Brown ground meat in large pot. Drain fat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, tomato sauce and mushrooms with liquid. Cook on low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper at this time, being very light with salt due to cheese. After 30 minutes add the diced cheese, mix to melt and remove from heat.

While mixture is cooking, boil spaghetti, drain and rinse. Add cooked spaghetti to meat sauce and mix well. Pour into a 4 quart casserole which has been sprayed with Pam. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Note: This casserole can be prepared, refrigerated, and baked the next day. Cooking time will need to be longer in a slower oven.
