In a skillet cook ground beef or sausage, onion and green pepper until tender and meat is browned. Drain off excess fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano and garlic salt. Heat through. Turn meat mixture into spaghetti crust. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese melts.
