8 oz. pepperoni, shredded or thinly sliced

2 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 t. garlic powder

Remove casings from Italian sausage. In a skillet over medium heat, cook Italian
sausage, crumble and drain.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice Velveeta and place in microwaveable dish. Cover and
microwave for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until melted. Measure 1/2 cup
each of Cheddar and mozzarella and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine remaining Cheddar and mozzarella with melted Velveeta
and all the macaroni, Italian sausage, pepperoni, Genoa salami, red bell pepper,
scallions, mushrooms, the 1/2 cup olives and evaporated milk. Mix thoroughly and
divide into 3 large casserole dishes. Bake 45 minutes, or until bubbly.
Sprinkle tops with the reserved 1/2 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup mozzarella and the 4
tablespoons Parmesan. In a saucepan, mix tomato sauce with garlic powder, onion
and oregano and heat thoroughly. Spoon hot sauce evenly over tops of the three
baked casseroles. Garnish with some extra sliced olives.
