1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Transfer the seasoned beef to a slow cooker. Add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and bell peppers. Stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.
Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, cilantro, avocado, or tortilla chips.
Notes
Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken if desired.
Add cooked rice or crushed tortilla chips for a heartier casserole.
