Dump & Bake Mexican Meatball Orzo

Name: Dump & Bake Mexican Meatball Orzo
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 48 min
Total time: 53 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Beef meatballs (fat-reduced); 1 Onion; 2 Peppers; 4 Spring onions; 1 small tin Sweetcorn; 250 g Orzo; 500 g Tomato passata; 500 ml Beef stock; 2 tbsp Tomato purée; 2 tsp Garlic granules; 2 tsp Smoked paprika; 1 tsp Ground cumin; 1 tsp Mild chilli powder; 1 tsp Mixed herbs; 2 tsp Honey; Black pepper; 100 g Reduced-fat Cheddar; Fresh coriander; Spring onions

The dump & bake recipes have been really popular on the app so far so I wanted to share another one- this time putting a bit of a Mexican twist on meatballs and orzo! It is soooo packed with flavour, super easy and hands off and also packs in plenty of veg, plenty of protein and can easily be made veggie by subbing the meatballs for halloumi too. Feel free to make the meatballs from scratch if you prefer, I wanted to keep this nice and easy so I used pre-made ones!

This is really tasty for a one pan meal. Personal preference would be to fry the onions off before adding, but at the same time I won't be doing this as I wanted an easy / low mess meal and hit the spot in that regard.

Such an easy cook. And one for when life is busy and you just want to be able to sit down while it’s in the oven. Perfect. And so tasty. The kids also loved it
