How to Make All In One Pot Saucy Pasta

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) and cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until browned (about 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
Add 2 cups of water, 24 ounces (one 24-oz jar) of your favorite pasta sauce, and 1 pound of your favorite pasta (penne, rotini, or your preferred shape).
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Stir in 8 ounces (one 8-oz package) of sliced mushrooms and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese) until melted and creamy.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
