Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.

  3. 3

    Add the orzo, beef broth, and diced tomatoes (with juices) to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in the feta cheese and fresh parsley until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your one-pot Greek meal!
