Heat and Sauté: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the ground beef, onion, and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is thoroughly browned and crumbly.
Add Veggies and Seasonings: Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the zucchini, corn, and tomatoes along with the basil, thyme, butter, and Worcestershire sauce. Blend well.
Simmer: Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the flavors meld. Stir occasionally and adjust the seasonings as needed.
