Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Vegetables and Pasta

  • 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 box (12 oz) bowtie pasta

Dairy and Fats

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Boil the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta well and set aside.
  3. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully browned and no longer pink.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir the ranch seasoning mix, drained corn kernels, and cooked pasta into the browned beef. Then add melted butter, garlic powder, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the entire mixture into a casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and develops a slightly golden-brown crust.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, and savory casserole.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer, use fresh corn instead of canned for added sweetness and texture.
  • Feel free to add chopped onions or bell peppers when browning the beef for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
