20 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, coarsely chopped

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

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.
Step 4

Combine beef, noodles, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, spaghetti sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives in a large bowl; transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 mozzarella cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
