• 1 pound extra lean ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup orzo
• 15 ounces no salt added tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup feta cheese

 

Directions

1. Brown ground beef, onion and garlic in large skillet. Drain well.
2. Add pasta, tomato sauce, water, oregano leaves, cinnamon and pepper; stir to combine, making sure pasta is covered by liquid. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer 11 to 13 minutes, stirring frequently, until orzo is tender.
