An incredibly flavorful and comforting ground beef orzo dish ready in under 30 minutes. This easy ground beef orzo recipe is perfect for quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 1/2 cups orzo pasta
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add olive oil to the skillet. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, orzo pasta, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve the ground beef orzo hot. Top with shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a creamier ground beef orzo, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a tablespoon of butter at the end of cooking.
  • Add your favorite vegetables like spinach, peas, or bell peppers along with the orzo for a more complete ground beef orzo with vegetables.
  • This ground beef orzo skillet is great for meal prep and can be reheated easily.
