Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Add Flavors: Stir in the pizza sauce, diced pepperoni, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the beef. Simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
