Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

12 oz bowtie pasta

1 cup sweet corn (frozen or fresh)

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup beef broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Combine Ingredients: Once the beef is cooked, stir in the sweet corn and ranch seasoning mix. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.

        Add Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

          Toss in Pasta: Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to combine everything evenly.

            Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and stir until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve the creamy ranch beef bowtie skillet warm, and enjoy the delightful flavors of this dish!
