1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands.

2. Grease an appropriately sized baking pan (the deeper, the better)

3. Pour the mixture into the baking pan and level off.

4. Be sure the pepperoni is spread out throughout the mixture.

4. Sprinkle grated parmasian cheese and black pepper on the top.

5. Preheat oven at 325 degrees.
