Remove ground beef, add more oil if needed, and saute optional vegetables if desired. 

Add ground meat back to the instant pot with the vegetables and then add noodles, water, spaghetti sauce, salt, and pepperoni pieces.

Place lid on the Instant Pot, making sure steam valve is in the SEALING position, and set to cook on MANUAL for 3 minutes. Allow to release steam using the NATURAL (not quick) RELEASE. 

Add Parmesan and cheddar cheese and stir well before serving.

Add pepperoni slices and spaghetti sauce to pan with meat and vegetables.  

In a separate pot, cook noodles according to package directions (using whatever amounts of water and salt they determine - omit the amounts of each in this ingredients list). 

Drain and add to saucepan with other ingredients. 

Stir well, add both cheeses, and enjoy!
