PEPPERONI MACARONI

(THIS PASTA RECIPE IS POSTED TO CELEBRATE OCTOBER'S NATIONAL PASTA MONTH!)

2 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 lb. bulk Italian sausage
1 chopped onion
15 oz. can pizza sauce
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1/3 cup milk
3.25 oz. pkg. sliced pepperoni, cut in half
4.5 oz. jar sliced mushrooms, drained (OR 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms)
2.25 oz. can sliced ripe black olives, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, cook sausage and onion (and fresh mushrooms, if using) over medium heat till meat is no longer pink; drain. Drain macaroni. In a bowl, combine pizza sauce, tomato sauce, and milk. Stir in sausage mixture, macaroni, pepperoni, and olives. (and canned mushrooms, if using.) Put in a greased 9x13-inch pan or baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted. (Watch closely so cheese won't burn.)
