One Pot Cheesy Creamed Corn Orzo

1. Heat a pot over medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain.
2. Drain off most of the bacon grease. Add the butter and onion. Cook for 5 minutes until fragrant. Mix in the garlic, orzo, corn, and thyme. Cook until golden and toasted, 2 minutes. 
3. Pour over the broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the orzo is al dente, stirring often. It should become very creamy.
4. Stir in the milk, green chilies, cheddar, parmesan, and green onions. Cook another few minutes until warmed through. As the orzo thickens up, add additional broth to thin. This should be creamy, but with just a touch of liquid.
5. Divide the orzo among bowls and top with bacon and fresh thyme.
