Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 small onions -- chopped
1 small green bell pepper -- chopped
2/3 pound button mushrooms -- sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 cloves garlic -- minced 6-8
3 tablespoons steak sauce
2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons oregano
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
14 oz tomato sauce
2 1/2 oz tomato paste
28 oz diced tomatoes -- Roma preferred
2/3 cup Burgundy wine
1 pinch sugar
1 pound spaghetti -- cooked to al dente
1 pound sharp cheddar -- sliced thickly
1 pound mozzarella -- thickly sliced
1/2 cup Parmesan -- freshly grated
1 large stick pepperoni -- cut 1/4" slices

Saute onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in olive oil until tender. Add garlic about halfway through sauti. Work the steak sauce through the raw ground beef. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside. Add ground beef to the pan and brown beef with 1/2 tablespoon of oregano, black pepper, and 1/2-teaspoon salt. Drain the fat from the pan. Add the vegetables back to the pan with the beef. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste and 1 1/2 to 2 cans diced tomatoes.

Gradually add the remaining oregano and the wine, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 25 minutes. Add pinch of sugar. Add cooked spaghetti noodles and mix thoroughly. Pour 1/2 of the spaghetti mixture into a greased baking pan. Top with sliced cheddar cheese. Add remaining spaghetti mixture and top with mozzarella and Parmesan. If the pepperoni is low fat, it can be added on top of the cheese at this time. If not, it should be cooked in the microwave for 2 minutes, on a paper towel, until the grease runs out, then added 5 minutes before the spaghetti is ready to come out of the oven. Bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees F.

NOTES : This feeds a LOT of people. I have labled it as serving 8 but I'd bet you could feed more..12 or more depending on side dishes served. GREAT for a potluck etc. Probably would work well in the 6 qt Nesco.
