French Onion Meatballs with Creamy Orzo

Ingredients:

2 yellow onions, sliced thin

2 tbsps butter

1 lb ground beef

1 egg

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup bread crumbs

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Worcestershire sauce

S&P

1/2 cup white wine

1 cup of chicken/ beef broth

Cornstarch

1 box of Orzo pasta

1 tbsp butter

Heavy cream

Parmesan

Garlic powder

S & P

Preparation:

Over medium heat, add butter, sliced onions, & a pinch of salt. Allow to cook for 45 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until golden brown.

For the meatballs, mix together ground beef, egg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, S&P, and 1/2 of the caramelized onions. Form into meatballs, making approximately 16-18.

Transfer remaining onions to another bowl & in the same pan, cook the meatballs for 3 minutes, flip, cook for another 3 minutes, and remove from pan. Add the remaining onions back into the pan, add in the white wine, broth, & cornstarch slurry to thicken, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the meatballs back in & simmer for 20 minutes.

While meatballs are simmering, cook Orzo according to package directions. Add in butter, cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, & S & P.

*This would also be good with mashed potatoes in lieu of the Orzo.

Enjoy!
