Place tomatoes, beef, 3⁄4 cup cheese, seasoning, and water in a large bowl; mix to combine. Spoon 1⁄2 cup into bottom of Square or Multipurpose Steamer.
Break noodles in half crosswise. Lay four pieces in steamer; top with 1 cup beefy sauce. Repeat three more times, until noodles and sauce are all used (the top layer should be sauce).

Use a silicone knife or spatula to cut and serve. Avoid using metal knives in the Steamer.
