Pepperoni Pizza Bake
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (8 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles
  • 20 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, or as needed
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 (2.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
In a skillet over medium heat, introduce ground beef and cook until it reaches a fully cooked state, breaking the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks, approximately 10 minutes.
3
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water until they are tender but still retain some firmness when bitten into, roughly 5 minutes; drain excess water.
4
In a separate bowl, merge the cooked beef, noodles, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, spaghetti sauce, pepperoni slices, black olives, and sautéed mushrooms. Combine the ingredients thoroughly before transferring them to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5
Top the mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
6
Bake the casserole in your preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it reaches a state of bubbling and golden brown perfection.
