This Cheeseburger Orzo is a comforting twist on two classics—cheeseburgers and pasta—blended into one creamy, savory skillet meal. I first made this on a whim during a rainy evening, and it quickly became a family favorite. It’s hearty, quick to prepare, and packed with all the flavors you love from a juicy burger. It’s the kind of dish that brings everyone to the table with a smile
