Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. If there's excess fat, drain it.
- Add the diced onion and chopped bell pepper into the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle the dried oregano and basil over the beef and veggie mixture. Stir well and let flavors meld for a minute.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and low-sodium chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping bits from the skillet.
- Once simmering, stir in the orzo pasta, ensuring it's fully submerged. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until al dente.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or top with grated Parmesan if desired.
