Hamlin’s rich and hearty one-pot orzo recipe

Below, you’ll find an orzo recipe from Hamlin and Guilbault that cooks the entire dish in a single pot. This makes cleanup a breeze, while ensuring the orzo, ground beef and other ingredients become tender.

The recipe calls for jarred rosemary red wine sauce, from the duo’s food company known as Harry’s Famous Sauce, to infuse the orzo with a robust and herby flavor. (Buy at harrysfamous.com) It’s the ultimate dish to satisfy your comfort food cravings!
