Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz spaghetti (cooked to al dente)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 -3 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
2 -3 tbsp minced fresh garlic
1 (10 oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup sliced green olives (optional, can use a bit more )
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
salt and black pepper
3 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided (can use more or less )
2 (10 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/3 cup milk or 1/3 cup water
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Grease a lasagna baking pan.
Place the cooked spaghetti in a bowl and toss with salt, pepper, eggs and 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; set aside.
For the sauce (this sauce is better if made a day in advance!).
Brown the ground beef and pork in a medium heavy pot along with the dried oregano, basil, chili flakes, onion, one green bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, garlic and mushrooms; cook until the beef and pork are browned and the veggies are tender (about 12-15 minutes) drain fat, then add in the olives and crushed tomatoes; simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes.
Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
At this point you can cool to room temperature then refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Place half of the spaghetti in the bottom of the baking dish/pan.
Top with the half of the meat sauce, then about 1-1/2 cups mozza cheese.
Repeat layers once ending up with the mozza cheese on top.
Sprinkle a chopped green bell pepper on top of the mozza cheese.
In a bowl mix together the soup with milk or water, then drizzle on top of the casserole.
Top/sprinkle with about 1/3 cup (or more or less) Parmesan cheese (the pan will be full so I advise you to place the pan on a baking sheet to catch spills).
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly (if desired sprinkle some mozza cheese on top the last 5 minutes of baking).
