1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
5 tbsps of diced onions (I personally use less since I am not a huge onion fan)
1 jar chunky tomato pasta sauce
1 box (10.6 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated Parmesan breadsticks with garlic
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12×8 (2 qt) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Brown ground beef and drain. Stir in pepperoni, onions, and pasta sauce. Cook until boiling.

Unroll dough into 1 large rectangle. Spread garlic mixture from the box evenly over the dough. Separate dough into 10 breadsticks. Cut each breadstick into 3 crosswise pieces.

Pour ground beef mixture into baking dish. Spread dough pieces evenly over hot ground beef mixture.

Bake 15 - 18 minutes or until topping is golden brown and no longer doughy. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

When a recipe calls for sticks of butter, use the butter wrappers to grease the pans you need.

Chop up leftover, day old breadsticks and use them as croutons in soup or salad.

Coarse salt is best for sprinkling on breadsticks or homemade pretzels.

For breadsticks with a little zip, sprinkle them with garlic powder before baking.
