Baked Spaghetti

Hey, I wanted to post a recipe here that Emily makes that I am quite fond of. She says it's pretty simple, although it's beyond my skills. I had fun photographing it and played around a little in PS (photoshop, not PlayStation), here is what I came up with. Enjoy!Here is the text in case you are having trouble seeing the jpg.

1 c. chopped onion

1 c. chopped green pepper

2 tsp. dried oregano

1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained

12 oz spaghetti, cooked and drained
