Mama L's Mexican Mush

2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 large block Velveeta
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 large can sliced mushrooms
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 large can black olives
Noodles (original recipe says Manicotti but those are hard to manage, I suggest Jumbo Shells, much easier)
( I think the original called for onions too but I had to change it for my picky Hubby)
shredded cheese for the top

Cook noodles to al dente'. Let cool.
Preheat oven to 350
Brown meat and drain. Return to pan and add cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, pepper, and olives.Simmer until cheese is melted. (Your house will be smelling  wonderful at this point)
Place your noodles in a 13x9 pan so they will be easy to fill with the yummy smelling mixture.
Fill the noodles with meat mixture. Pour any remaining mixture on top.
At this point I like to sprinkle a little cheese on top for extra cheesy goodness but it is not necessary.
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

This is another one that's good the next day. I think sour cream is a must have with this.
