How to Make Cheesy Beefy Noodle Casserole W Pepperoni

In a large deep skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, thyme), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until the onion is softened and the beef is browned through (about 8-10 minutes).
Stir in 24 oz jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce and 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced).
Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, cook 1 lb macaroni according to package directions, until almost al dente. Drain well; do not rinse.
Stir the cooked macaroni into the beef sauce.
Pour the mixture into a greased 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
Top with 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp dried oregano.
Arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the top.
Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
