Greek Beef and Orzo Youvetsi

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F. In an oven-safe pot, brown the beef with the diced onion in the oil over medium-high heat, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

2. 2

   Add the garlic, cinnamon, and oregano for 1 minute, then pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Stir in the orzo, season with salt and pepper, cover, and move to the oven for 18-20 minutes until the orzo is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

4. 4

   Let it rest 5 minutes, then top with feta. The cinnamon is gentle — most kids won't notice it.
