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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken or beef broth and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil if desired, for extra richness.

Step 9

Serve hot as a main dish or alongside crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
