My go to dinner when I want something comforting, high in protein, satisfying and with minimal cleanup! This one-pan cheeseburger orzo is ready in 20 mins and leaves me with just one pan and one cutting board to wash, which is a double win in my books!

Ingredients

* 1 tbsp avocado oil

* 1 onion, chopped

* 2 garlic cloves, chopped

* 1 pack organic ground beef

* 1 tbsp tomato paste

* 1 cup crushed tomatoes

* 1 cup orzo

* 1 1/2 cups broth

* Salt and pepper, to taste

* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

*

How to

Heat the avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned.

Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, orzo, broth, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover, and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and broil in the oven for about 2 minutes, just until melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
