- 2 (24 ounce) jars traditional spaghetti sauce
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1/2 pound bacon chopped
- 1 pound ham diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 pound frozen meatballs thawed
- 1 (2.5 ounce) package pepperoni
- 2-3 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 (16 ounce) tube refrigerated pizza crust
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown Italian sausage, bacon, and ham together.
- When meat is cooked through (no pink on any of these meats!), drain and return to skillet.
- Stir in 1 jar of spaghetti sauce. Stir to combine.
- Bring spaghetti sauce mixture to a simmer and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
- When sauce has simmered, pour into a 9"x13" baking dish.
- Add noodles, meatballs, pepperoni, and the second jar of spaghetti sauce to the baking dish with the meat mixture. Stir to combine.
- Top pasta with shredded mozzarella.
- Unroll refrigerated pizza crust and drape over the top of the baking dish. Fold up any hanging edges so that it looks like a crust on a pizza.

- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake at 375° for about 15-20 minutes, until crust is golden and pasta is cooked through.
