Start by browning 2 lbs of ground beef and 1 lb of spicy Italian sausage in a large pot.

Dice 1 large red pepper, 2 jalapenos, and 0.5 lb of pepperoni.

Add diced red pepper and jalapenos to the meat mixture as it cooks.

Cook spaghetti noodles in a pot with salt and a touch of olive oil until al dente; break the noodles in half before cooking.

Once the meat is browned, combine it with the cooked spaghetti noodles in a large pot.

Sprinkle in some parmesan cheese while mixing the spaghetti and meat.

Add the spicy marinara sauce to the mixture and stir well.

Pour in 1 cup of water to help the noodles cook further.

Layer slices of provolone cheese and jalapenos on top of the mixture.

Transfer the mixture to a baking tray and bake in the oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes, then check for doneness.

If needed, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until everything is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
