Ground beef leftovers with orzo



It is too often that you wind up with cooked ground beef leftovers. Almost once in a week, I cook spaghetti with ground beef sauce and most of the time we eat the whole spaghetti but not all the meat. So I make this recipe that my mother in law taught me and present a whole new food to my husband.
You will need the leftover food, hot water, a deep pan with a lid and some orzo.
Turn the stove on medium heat and place the ground beef sauce in the pan. Pour some hot water and some salt and allow to come to a boil.
 I cannot tell you how much water or orzo to use as it all depends on the leftover beef sauce you have. It is easy to see that by yourself.
When the sauce boils, you throw in the orzo and stir occasionally until it cooks to your liking. Sometimes it takes more water than anticipated so be sure to keep some hot water nearby.
You taste the food, add some more salt and pepper if you like and take off the heat.

You can serve it as is or with some parmesan sprinkled on top.

Hope you’ll give it a try. Till next time


P.S. If you don't know orzo, it's a durum wheat pasta that looks like this.
