Cook noodles until firm and drain. Add the noodles, 1/2 of the pepperoni, 1/2 of the cheese, the milk, the pizza sauce, and the tomato sauce to the sausage mixture and mix well. Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
Remove cover, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, then dot with the remaining pepperoni and then bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and pepperoni browned at the edges.
