1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
2. In a large Dutch oven, combine sausage, Canadian-style bacon, mushrooms, pepperoni, onion, and bell pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, or until sausage is browned and crumbly; drain. Return sausage mixture to Dutch oven. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, 10 minutes. Stir in bacon and cheese. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish.
