How to Make Beef Orzo And Rice

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add orzo, rice, diced tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice and orzo are cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
