Steps
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the mushrooms and onions and brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease, if needed.
Stir in the salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper.
Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off pot.
Sprinkle in the noodles.
Dump the tomato sauce, tomatoes and corn evenly on top of the noodles. Don’t stir.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute on low pressure. When time is up move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
Stir well. Sprinkle the cheese on top and let it melt.
Serve and enjoy!

Can this be made in a crockpot. No instant pot
I made this on the stovetop (I don’t have an Instant Pot) and the instructions were very easy to follow/adapt. The result was delicious! Just add the liquid like the recipe says and bring to a rolling boil, then add egg noodles and cook for about 5 minutes. Viola.
I would say yes. I made it on the stove top. just took a bit longer in terms of prep work as I didn’t just put it all in the pot at once.
no instapot. any other way
