Lazy Italian Orzo Bake
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground Italian sausage
3 slices thick-cut bacon, diced (I like @hemplerfoods for both the sausage and 🥓!)
1 package orzo, prepared
1 jar tomato sauce (try @newmansown!)
Mozzarella cheese, grated
Fresh basil, torn
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large oven-proof skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons olive oil and add sausage, as well as bacon. Brown. Add orzo and stir to incorporate. Empty entire jar of tomato sauce. Stir. Top with as much or little mozzarella as your heart desires, and finish with basil. Carefully place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Enjoy with a salad and crusty bread.
