How to make Cheesy Beef and Corn Skillet Pasta
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the chopped onion to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 4-6 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder and 2 tsp Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Add 8 oz of dry pasta and the diced tomato to the skillet. Pour in 3 cups of water, ensuring the pasta is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Check for doneness as package directions may vary.
- Stir in 1.5 cups of corn and the 4 oz of cubed cream cheese. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the cream cheese has melted and created a creamy sauce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pasta. Cover the skillet for 3-5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt into a gooey layer.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, allowing everyone to scoop up the cheesy, hearty pasta.
