Start by boiling salted water and cooking 8 oz of spaghetti.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Add cooked chopped ham, chopped bell pepper, and onions (both frozen and fresh) to the skillet.

Sauté the mixture for about 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 8 oz of Vita cheese to the skillet.

Stir the mixture together until smooth and creamy.

Season the sauce with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste, then stir again.

Drain the cooked spaghetti (do not rinse) and add it to the sauce mixture, stirring well to combine.

Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish or a 9 by 13 dish.

Sprinkle freshly grated cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for about half an hour.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before plating.
