  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 cup orzo pasta
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
– Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating Savory Ground Beef Orzo is simple if you follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Beef: Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with juices), oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Pour in Broth: Add the beef broth to the mixture, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
6. Add Orzo: Stir in the orzo pasta, making sure it’s submerged in the broth.
7. Cook Orzo: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
9. Serve Hot: Serve the Savory Ground Beef Orzo hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.

Following these steps will lead you to a delicious homemade meal that warms both heart and soul.
