Baked Spaghetti

Note: Also eaten at the women's retreat last weekend. This recipe was the main dinner course. A great recipe to use for a large crowd. All meals at the retreat were served by the men of the church. They attended to our every need: removing plates when finished, bringing us more food when needed, pouring drinks, and cleaning the tables. They made us feel so special!

16 oz spaghetti, cooked
1-1/2 pound ground beef, browned
42 oz diced tomatoes
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups chopped green pepper
1-1/2 cups choppped onion
3/4 cup mushrooms
2 eggs
2 small cans cream of mushroom soup
3/8 cup water
1 T oregano
3/8 cup Parmesan cheese

Mix spaghetti, ground beef, green peppers, onion, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, oregano, eggs, 1 can of soup, and 1-1/2 cups cheddar. Put in baking dish. Mix 1 can of soup with 3/8 cup water. Top with Parmesan cheese, then pour soup over pasta. Top with remaining 1-1/2 cups cheddar. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
