Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup frozen lima beans
- 1 medium sweet red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.75 cup chicken or beef broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the corn kernels, lima beans, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and heated through.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine the flavors evenly.
Pour in the chicken or beef broth and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil if desired, for extra richness.
Serve hot as a main dish or alongside crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
