Optional: diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for extra pizzazz
👩🍳 Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef (or sausage) and onion over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the tomato sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the meat sauce.
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the noodle mixture. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Add the rest of the noodle mixture on top, then cover with the remaining cheese. Top it all off with the pepperoni slices.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving—if you can wait that long!
