Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups orzo
  • 1 pack Hillshire Farm beef sausage sliced
  • 3 cups chicken broth approximately, or enough to completely cover the orzo
  • 1 pack Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese
  • sun-dried tomatoes to taste
  • red onion chopped or diced, to taste
  • garlic minced, to taste
Seasonings
  • Italian seasoning to taste
  • dried oregano to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • garlic salt to taste

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Aluminum foil
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Add the orzo, sliced beef sausage, chicken broth, Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic powder, and garlic salt to a baking dish.
  3. Make sure there is enough chicken broth to completely cover the orzo. About 3 cups was used in the original recipe.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and stir everything together until the Boursin cheese is fully incorporated and the orzo is creamy.
  7. If the pasta has not absorbed all of the broth, return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and creamy.
  8. Stir again and serve warm.

Notes

Use enough chicken broth to completely cover the orzo; approximately 3 cups was used in the original recipe.
If there is still excess broth after the initial 30 minutes, bake uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes until the orzo absorbs the liquid and becomes creamy.
The amounts for sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and seasonings were not specified in the original recipe, so add them to taste.
