Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 pounds hamburger
1 or 2-5oz. Gouveia Portuguese Sausage thinly sliced ( no msg sausage)
2 teaspoon oil
1 onion diced
4 clove garlic diced ( I love garlic-cut in half if you're not a garlic fan)
salt to season

2 cans (8 ounce) tomato sauce
1 can tomato soup (10 3/4 ounces)
1 can water (use tomato soup can)
1 large envelope spaghetti sauce mix (3 ounces)
(Note: when I am in a hurry, I use Paul Newman's spaghetti sauce instead)

2 packages each 2-cups shredded Monterey Jack mild cheddar cheese
1 package spaghetti noodles (16 ounces) cooked according to package directions. ( I add garlic to the water while boiling as well as oil and salt-oil so the noodles don't stick and salt to season).
Directions:
Directions:
Heat oil in frying pan. Carmelize the onions (onions will look transparent), add garlic. You should be able to smell the garlic, brown slightly do not burn. Add hamburger, brown, add sausage. Add tomato sauce, tomato soup, water and spaghetti sauce. (If using already prepared spaghetti sauce, pour over meat mixture, add water using sauce container maybe 1/2 water, add more if not enough sauce over the meat mixture). Simmer low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring constantly so the bottom doesn't burn.

Place spaghetti on the bottom of deep dish casserole or roasting pan. Pour sauce mixture over spaghetti. Spread cheese over the top making sure cheese covers the entire sauce (no holes). Bake at 350 ºF until cheese is browned and melted, 20 to 30 minutes.

Personal Notes:
I remember working in the cafeteria at Kalihi Waena Elementary School when I was in the 5th and 6th grade. They made the best tasting baked spaghetti with all the cheese browned and melted all over. I loved it. When you worked their you always got to have a little extra scoop. Yummy, onolicious. This recipe is pretty close to it. I added sausage to the meat mixture. You can add any of your favorite sausage, Italian mild hot or Emeril's apple sausage. It gives it an added ZING!
