Cook and stir the meat and onion in a large skillet until the meat is
brown. Drain off the excess fat. Stir in the remaining ingredients except
the grated Parmesan Cheese. Heat to boiling then reduce the heat and
simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the wheat is tender, about 30
minutes. (A small amount of water can be added if necessary.) Stir in the
cheese and garnish with additional snipped parsley and/or Parmesan Cheese.
NOTE: The nutlike texture of cracked wheat reminds one of brown rice, in
fact, it is cooked and used in the same way.
