Learn how to make delicious One-Pot Cheeseburger Orzo Skillet. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups orzo pasta
3 cups beef broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian twist)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, mixing until the beef is well coated with the sauces.
Add the orzo pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the beef mixture.
Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt, about 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot. Enjoy the comforting flavors of a cheeseburger in every bite!
