Directions

  1. 1Slice up two yellow onions.
  2. 2In a pan, add two tablespoons of butter, the onion, and a pinch of salt.
  3. 3Cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is a good time to prep your other ingredients.
  4. 4For the meatball mixture, combine one pound of ground beef, one egg, half cup grated parmesan, one-fourth cup breadcrumbs, three cloves of garlic, one-fourth cup of chopped parsley, W sauce, about half of the caramelized onions, and some salt and pepper.
  5. 5Mix the meatball mixture.
  6. 6Grab a little piece of the meatball mixture and form it into a ball.
  7. 7Cook the meatballs in the same pan that you cooked the onions in.
  8. 8Flip the meatballs after about three minutes.
  9. 9Let them cook another three minutes and then remove them from the pan.
  10. 10Add back in the caramelized onions, about a half cup of white wine, mix that, and really scrape up all the stuff on the bottom.
  11. 11Then add a cup of broth and a cornstarch slurry to help thicken.
  12. 12Add the meatballs back in. These are going to simmer for about 20 minutes.
  13. 13For the orzo, add a tablespoon of butter, some heavy cream, parmesan, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to a pot.
  14. 14Add the cooked orzo back in.
  15. 15Serve the orzo and the meatballs together, with some extra sauce and a little parsley on top.
