Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess grease.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and dried oregano, cooking for one more minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce, uncooked orzo, and beef broth. Give everything a good stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and half of the mozzarella cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • If you’d like a bubbly, golden top, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the orzo and place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes. Watch it closely.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
