Cook the Beef:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula (5-7 minutes). If needed, drain excess fat.

Sauté the Aromatics:

Add diced onion and cook until softened (3 minutes).

Stir in garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds.

Add Seasoning & Corn:

Mix in Worcestershire sauce and ranch seasoning.

Stir in the sweet corn and cook for 2 more minutes until heated through.

Make It Cheesy & Creamy:

Reduce heat to low and fold in sour cream, mayonnaise, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

Melt the Cheese:

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.

Cover and let cook on low until the cheese melts (2-3 minutes). Alternatively, transfer to a baking dish, sprinkle cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly.

Garnish & Serve:

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon (if using).

Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or as a filling for tacos or wraps!
