One Pan Creamy Beef & Orzo

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 onion chopped

• 2 garlic cloves chopped

• 1 pound ground beef

• Salt and pepper

• 1 cup orzo

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 cups fresh spinach

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, and add the onion and garlic. Sauté a few minutes until softened and add the ground beef. Brown the beef until no longer pink and drain. Return to skillet.

2. Add the orzo, Italian seasoning and 1 1/2 cups broth. Bring to a bubble, reduce heat and cover. Let it cook for 10-12 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the orzo is almost tender.

3. Add the cream and stir until incorporated. If it seems to dry add remaining broth and let it cook a few minutes more.

4. Stir in the spinach and taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with cheese and cover again until the cheese has melted.
