    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

    Mix corn, mushrooms, green bell pepper, salsa, tomato, and nacho cheese sauce together in a bowl. Layer mixture over the bottom of the prepared dish. Mix ground beef and taco sauce together in a separate bowl; add to the corn mixture in the dish and stir together. Layer potato puffs on top of casserole. Top with shredded Mexican cheese blend.

    Cook's Notes:

    Do not use creamed corn in this recipe.

    Any Cheddar or mozzarella cheese blend will do.

    You can adjust the heat of the dish by adding in jalapeno peppers, or using a hot salsa and/or nacho cheese sauce.
