I got quite a few compliments and the best one was when a dear friend of mine said... "This is totally pinterest worthy!" Well Shucks! So here it is. Hope y'all enjoy it...

Steps:
- 1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
- 2. Meanwhile, In a large skillet, brown ground beef, sausage and pepperoni; stirring to crumble. Drain and return to skillet.
- 3. Add 4 cans tomato bisque soup, spaghetti sauce mix, mushrooms and onions. Simmer while pasta is cooking.
- 4. When spaghetti is done, drain well, and mix with hamburger mixture. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and top with 2 cups mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until cheese has nicely melted.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of spaghetti. Long, thin spaghetti is the best choice for this recipe, as it cooks evenly and holds the sauce well.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means that the spaghetti should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when it is baked.
- Use a good quality pepperoni. The pepperoni is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality pepperoni that has a good flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you are browning the pepperoni, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pepperoni from cooking evenly and will also make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the spaghetti. You don't want the spaghetti to be too crowded in the baking dish, as this will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Top the spaghetti with plenty of cheese. The cheese is what makes this dish so rich and delicious. Don't be afraid to use a lot of cheese!
- Bake the spaghetti until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Pepperoni baked spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to make for a crowd, as it can be easily doubled or tripled. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
