Creamy Ranch Beef Bowtie Skillet with Sweet Corn Magic

Cook the Pasta – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Brown the Ground Beef – While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Add the Ranch Seasoning – Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the browned beef and stir to coat. Add a little water if the mixture seems too dry (about 1/4 cup).

Combine the Corn and Pasta – Stir in the frozen sweet corn and let it cook for a couple of minutes until heated through. Then add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet and mix everything together.

Make It Creamy – Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is well combined and the cheese has melted into a creamy sauce.

Season and Serve – Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve warm and enjoy!
