Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 0.5 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 2 sliced for garnish green onions
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
Mix in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the beef is well coated with the spices.
Stir in the frozen corn kernels and the low-sodium beef broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the corn is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with sliced green onions.
