Cheesy Pizza Orzo

0 Cook the orzo according to the package directions until al dente, then set it aside.
1 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onions until the meat is fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain off any excess grease, then season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2 Stir in the marinara sauce and add as many pepperoni slices as you’d like. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
3 Top with shredded mozzarella, a generous sprinkle of bacon bits, and a few extra pepperoni slices.
4 Transfer to a 350°F oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
