Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cook pasta al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and return to pot. Pour 1 jar of pasta sauce over the pasta, stir to coat, and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet or stockpot over medium heat. Add in the peppers, onions, and mushrooms, reserving a small amount to use to top the casserole. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and saute over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until onions are clear and veggies are slightly softened.
- Add ground beef and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently until ground beef is cooked through. Drain to remove any excess fat.
- Stir ½ of a jar of pasta sauce and garlic powder into the meat mixture. Then stir in the pepperoni, parmesan cheese, and olives, again reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top of the casserole.
- Spread the pasta evenly across the bottom of your prepared casserole dish, followed by the beef mixture, then the remaining half jar of pasta sauce. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and top with reserved pepperoni, peppers, olives, and mushrooms.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
