Add the milk, bacon soup, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large pot. Combine and bring to a boil.

Stir in the spaghetti once the sauce is bubbling, then adjust the heat to medium-low. Cook the spaghetti while stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes.

Next, whisk in 2 c. of mozzarella and half of the bacon. To taste, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, transfer the spaghetti mixture.
