Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or equivalent in size.
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking the meat apart into crumbles while cooking, about 10 minutes. Discard grease.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water until cooked through yet slightly firm, about 5 minutes; drain.
Mix noodles with the spaghetti sauce, black olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, ground meat and half the mozzarella cheese in a large mixing bowl; spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish; top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil.
Bake until casserole is bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes.
