Step 1

Cook macaroni according to package directions, except omit salt; drain.

Meanwhile, cut half of the pepperoni slices in quarters; set aside.

In a large skillet, cook ground beef, Italian sausage and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender; drain off fat.

Stir in pizza sauce, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, pepper, garlic salt and onion salt. Stir in the cooked macaroni and quartered pepperoni slices.

Spoon half of the macaroni mixture into a 2 quart casserole; sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
