Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes.

  3. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes; drain.

  4. Combine beef, noodles, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, spaghetti sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives in a large bowl; transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 mozzarella cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
