Creamy Beef and Cheddar Orzo Skillet
Enjoy a balanced skillet dish featuring savory lean ground beef, perfectly cooked orzo, and a creamy sauce brought together by a blend of sharp cheddar and tangy Greek yogurt. Finished with sautéed onions, garlic, and fresh spinach, this dish provides comforting creaminess and a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
0.33 cup Orzo Pasta (dry)
0.5 oz Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.25 cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Minced Garlic
0.5 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Pour in the dry orzo pasta and add enough water (or low-sodium beef broth for extra flavor) to cover the pasta. Bring to a simmer and cook until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Once the orzo is cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture.
Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet for a minute to let the cheese melt into the dish.
Stir gently to combine all ingredients and serve warm.
