Combine the cooked ground beef, macaroni, pizza sauce, tomato sauce, and mushrooms in a bowl. Spread half of the macaroni mixture in a 9x12-inch baking dish; top with 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining macaroni mixture over the top; sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the macaroni mixture. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
