  • Slow Cooker Mushroom Risotto

Slow Cooker Mushroom Risotto is a very hearty meal in one!  Of course, if you’re into meat and want to make it even heartier – feel free to add some beef strips or similar. We’ve kept it pretty simple here to keep it inexpensive.

For a bit more of a flavour smash (should you choose) – make the following substitutions:

  • Change Beef Stock to White Wine
  • Substitute the Cheddar Cheese for Parmesan Cheese

Notes

Recipe Hints and Tips:

  • Slow Cooker Mushroom Risotto is suitable to freeze for up to two months.
  • Some slow cookers cook faster than others, so keep an eye on your risotto so it doesn't dry out.  If it looks like it is, give it a stir and add a bit more stock.  If after an hour and a half the rice is still crunchy, cook for a little longer until smooth and creamy.
  • For a tastier version, add a small tin of 'mushrooms in butter sauce' and a couple of diced bacon rashers.
