Instructions
list of 2 items
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion, garlic, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until the beef is no longer
pink (breaking up the meat as it cooks), about 5-7 minutes. Drain.
2. Reduce heat to low; stir in corn, zucchini, tomato, basil, thyme, butter and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about
10 more minutes (or until the vegetables are tender). Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.

Recipe Notes
Write list…
• This is a mild dish with simple seasoning such as salt, pepper, garlic, basil and thyme. You can play around with the spices that you use by adding more
seasoning for stronger flavor; by mixing up the herbs and using parsley, cilantro, rosemary, or oregano (for example); or by including cayenne or crushed
red pepper flakes for a little bit of kick. Additional spices that go well with ground beef include curry powder, mustard powder, cinnamon and cumin. Just
taste as you go and adjust to suit your preferences.
• You can swap out the beef for an equal amount of ground turkey.
• Make this dish at any time of year! If you don’t have access to much fresh summer produce, you can use frozen (or even canned) corn and canned, diced
tomatoes (drained).
• Melt shredded cheese on top of your warm ground beef dinner, or garnish with Parmesan at the very end.
• This healthy ground beef dinner recipe includes just 296 calories per serving, 11 grams of fat, 26 grams of carbohydrates and a whopping 25 grams of
