Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Spaghetti Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a large pot and fill it with lightly salted water.
Step 3
Bring it to a rolling boil, then add in your spaghetti.
Step 4
Cook it for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 5
Once done, drain the spaghetti and set it aside, letting it cool slightly.
Step 6
Next, take a large skillet and heat it over medium heat.
Step 7
Toss in your chopped onion and green bell pepper, sautéing them until they’re tender and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Once they’re ready, transfer these colorful veggies to a large mixing bowl, where they’ll mingle with the other ingredients.
Step 9
In the same skillet, crank up the heat to medium-high and add your ground beef.
Step 10
Cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 11
Don’t forget to drain any excess grease before adding the beef to the bowl with the sautéed vegetables.
Step 12
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! In that mixing bowl, stir in the cooked spaghetti, your favorite spaghetti sauce, creamy Cheddar cheese, a can of cream of mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms, black olives, a sprinkle of oregano, and a touch of sugar.
Step 13
Mix it all until it’s well combined and looks absolutely mouthwatering.
Step 14
Pour this hearty spaghetti mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 15
For the grand finale, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top, creating a cheesy crust that will melt to perfection.
Step 16
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 17
You’ll know it’s ready when the dish is bubbly and hot throughout, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 18
Enjoy this comforting meal that’s sure to bring smiles to the table!.
