Preheat oven to 350°.

2

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain (if using beans only, skip this step).

3

Stir in beans, chilies, sweet pepper, taco seasoning and hot salsa (if omitting beef, mix these ingredients up in a bowl or just heat up beans enough in a glass bowl to soften, then add remaining ingredients).

4

In a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, layer a third of the noodles and meat mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Repeat layers twice.

5

Combine mild salsa and water; pour over top. Cover and bake 1 hour or until heated through.
