How to Make Pepperoni Macaroni

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. While macaroni cooks, brown 1 pound Italian sausage and 1 medium onion (chopped) in a large skillet over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 24 ounces (2 (15 ounce) cans) pizza sauce, 8 ounces (1 cup) tomato sauce, and 1 cup milk. Stir well.
  5. Add the cooked sausage mixture, macaroni, 1 cup (about 4 ounces) sliced pepperoni, 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup sliced black olives to the sauce. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Pour the macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the macaroni is heated through.
