6 ounces cut spaghetti (cook and drain)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup onions

Combine bread crumbs, onions, salt, pepper, green pepper, and hamburger. Add 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Mix thoroughly.

Pat mixture into 10" pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees F until hamburger is thoroughly cooked. Drain off fat.

Combine remaining tomato sauce, spaghetti and half the cheese. Spoon into crust. Bake another 15 minutes or so. Sprinkle rest of cheese over top and serve.
