How to Make Ground Beef Zucchini Skillet Meal

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the meat is browned and no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 cup frozen corn, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 2 medium zucchini (chopped), 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and heated through, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
