3earscorn(cut off the cob, or about 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels)
1 1/2cupslow sodium beef broth
Salt and pepper(to taste)
1cupshredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onions and saute until browned. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drain all but one Tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
Stir in the garlic cloves, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce and stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and corn and cook for another 3 minutes.
Slowly stir in the beef broth, using a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Increase the heat and bring to a gentle boil. Cover and cook on medium low (or whatever temperature maintains a simmer) for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are almost tender. Remove the cover and continue to cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese on top and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until melted and golden brown.

The vegetables in this skillet can be swapped out based on your family's preferences or what you have on hand. Peas are a great substitute for corn. Sweet potatoes or russets can be substitued for the Yukon Golds, but they'll take a bit longer to cook.
For creamy ground beef and potatoes (more of a gravy-like consistency), reduce the beef broth by 1/4 cup, and stir in 1/2 cup half and half at the end of step 3. Allow the cream to cook down for a few minutes before adding cheese and broiling.
