~ CREAMY PARMESAN ORZO ~ CASSIES
This is a recipe, that I created with what I had and thought would be quite flavorful. I wanted something not heavy to serve with my Tailgate Meatballs.The family absolutely loved it. Was super delicious, if I do say so myself. You could add some cooked chicken or shrimp to this for a more complete meal. Enjoy!
