Directions

  • 1 Mix broth, pasta, corn and chilies in 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes or until pasta is just tender; remove from heat. Let stand about 5 minutes or until almost all liquid is absorbed.
  • 2 While pasta mixture is cooking, spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add oil; heat over medium-high heat. Cook beef and bell pepper in oil about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown.
  • 3 Stir beef mixture into pasta mixture. Stir in cilantro.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Orzo is a tiny pasta shaped like grains of rice. This mini-pasta is ideal for soups, casseroles and one-dish skillet meals.

Make it meatless by replacing the beef with a 15-ounce can of black beans, drained, and the beef broth with veggie broth.

This recipe is easy to make and very filling. If you don''t have any beef strips, ground beef tastes just as good in this recipe, also.
