While you can make this recipe any time of year with frozen or canned corn, we suggest trying it with fresh corn at the height of summer. If you're not a fan of lima beans, edamame makes a nice substitute and doesn't need to be cooked.

Chef's Practical Notes
Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
