OK I realize there are no amounts above. That is because I can't remember them. I had this all figured out and written down once but lost my recipe. I remember how to make it well enough though. I'm sure you can figure out the rough amounts just by looking at the instructions below.

Cook spaghetti al dente (whatever the spelling is) as it will cook some more and you don't want it to end up all mushy. Fry onions, half your mushrooms and the sausages in a pan. Heat sauce, add cooked onions, mushrooms and a lot of garlic and spice up to taste.

Build this in a preferably big deep rectangular casserole dish. A typical mistake is to put too much spaghetti in on the bottom and too much of everything else in each layer. Keep the layers thin as you have two of each and three of cheese. Don't put more than 3/4" of spaghetti on the bottom or you will like run out of vertical room. Cover the spaghetti completely (sealing it off) with a layer of cheese slices. Add a thin layer of sauce, then a light layer mushrooms, then slices of the Italian sausage, then slices of green pepper, another layer of cheese, another layer of sauce and all the ingredients, and then a layer of cheese again. Top with rings of green pepper with a mushroom in the middle of each. Bake at 375º for 30-40 min. Serve with garlic bread.... Yumm

I first learned about this recipe while visiting Gail about 20 years ago and yes it was named Pizza Casserole. That recipe was a bit simpler.... fry some onions add some sauce then just layer cheese, sauce and peperoni. Well I like my pizza a little more full bodied. I also found that sealing the spaghetti noodles with a layer of cheese seemed to make a difference. So I concocted this version and dubbed it Pete's A Casserole. Remember to use lots of garlic and spices in the sauce. Make this the night before and you have a fast delicious meal the next night. Makes great leftovers and freezes well too. Enjoy.
