When I got my hair cut in Las Vegas this summer, my hairdresser and I were discussing recipes. He asked me if I had ever tried Slow Cooker Risotto. I had never heard of making risotto in a slow cooker. I was instantly intrigued!

I love risotto. I don’t necessarily love making risotto. It isn’t hard, it just takes a lot of standing and stirring. I did some research and came up with this Slow Cooker Risotto. It is SO good. We’ve made this numerous times and it turns our perfectly every time. It couldn’t be simpler. Dump everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing for about 2 hours. Stir in the cheese and you have risotto. This is a great base recipe for Slow Cooker Risotto. Feel free to add in some green peas, cooked mushrooms or cooked chopped chicken. The possibilities are endless!
