Ingredients

  1. 1 slice whole-wheat bread, torn
  2. 1 10-ounce package white mushrooms
  3. 1 pound ground beef sirloin (90% lean)
  4. 1 large egg
  5. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  6. 2 teaspoons paprika, plus more for topping
  7. 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  8. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  9. 1 cup orzo
  10. 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  11. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  12. 1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt, well stirred

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Pulse the bread with half of the mushrooms in a food processor until fine; transfer to a large bowl. Add the beef, egg, 1 tablespoon parsley, the paprika, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into four 3-by-4-inch mini meatloaves; transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain the orzo.
  3. Slice the remaining mushrooms. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they just start browning, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sage and season with salt and pepper; cook until the mushrooms are tender, 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in the orzo.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons parsley and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Gradually add the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the meatloaves with the yogurt and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with the orzo.

Delicious, easy, and pretty quick. Will definitely be making again.  Perfect proportions for 4 people with no leftovers and no one left hungry.
