1 c. onion, chopped
1 c. green pepper, chopped
1 tbsp. butter
28 oz. can tomatoes, undrained
4 oz. can mushrooms, drained
3.8 oz. can sliced, black olives, drained

In a large skillet, saute onion and green pepper in butter until tender. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, olives and oregano. Add ground beef and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Place half of the spaghetti in a greased 13x9 baking dish. Top with half of the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with one cup of cheese. Repeat layers. Combine soup and water; stir until smooth.
