How to make Easy Ground Pork and Green Bean Skillet
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes, until no longer pink and browned. Drain off any excess grease, then push the cooked pork to one side of the skillet.
- Add 1/2 a chopped yellow onion to the empty side of the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, then mix the onion and garlic with the ground pork.
- Add 12 ounces fresh or frozen green beans (trimmed if fresh) and 1 cup frozen corn to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them slightly first for best results.
- While the vegetables cook, whisk together the sauce in a small bowl: 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari), 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional, for tang), and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat).
- Pour the prepared sauce over the ground pork and vegetables in the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring all ingredients are coated in the savory sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Easy Ground Pork and Green Bean Skillet immediately. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or crusty bread.
