A tacky pasta and beef one-pan meal that’s all set in minutes.
As far as I’m worried, one-pan dinners win the “finest thing ever created” award. A busy mommy’s buddy, a simple adequate supper even papa can handle or just a lazy cook’s method to eat a homemade meal. This orzo and beef frying pan has all the flavor of a Italian baked pasta dish but it’s done in about 15 minutes on the range top; it’s a seriously easy meal that’s quite darn good for you, too. Search for whole wheat orzo if you can discover it and amp up the nutrition a lot more.
