1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
15 ¼-oz. can whole kernel corn, drained

1 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1. Cook beef and onion in saucepan over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Transfer to slow cooker.

3. Cook noodles according to package in separate pan. Drain and add to slow cooker after mixture in cooker has cooked for 3 hours. Top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with cheese.
I would sub red bell pepper for green, use a can of Rotel tomatoes for some of the tomatoes (which would be petite diced here), use fresh slice baby Bella mushrooms instead of canned and try shredded PepperJack cheese on top!
I too would use red bell pepper instead of green and fresh mushrooms. I think I would like it with a can of black beans also and four cheese mexican blend.
Nix the noodles and use rice instead.
This sounds like fun. Can’t wait to play with this one!
What can one substitute for the mushrooms. Too many recipes have mushrooms but we don’t eat them.
