12 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the spaghetti sauce, mushrooms and olives. Drain spaghetti; add to skillet.
