This pasta is awesome, and it TOTALLY tastes like pizza! Weird?! We ate this up super fast; my husband liked that it was so hearty and I liked that it was so quick and easy to make!

1 lb. ground beef
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 cup diced pepperoni
4-1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. onion powder
