Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound bacon, diced
5 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
½ onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook and stir the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon and reserve.
  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat; reduce heat to low to keep the chicken stock hot.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Pour in the rice and stir until the rice is coated in butter and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in one-third of the hot chicken stock and continue stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. When finished, the rice should be tender, yet slightly firm.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the Parmesan cheese, and the reserved bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

The risotto didn't turn out as creamy as I was hoping. I think I didn't stir it enough.

The risotto was a bit too salty for me. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

The risotto was too soupy for my liking. I think I added too much liquid.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste, even after adding extra salt and pepper. I think next time I'll add some vegetables or herbs to give it more flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of risotto, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bacon and cheese made it creamy and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the bacon added just the right amount of smokiness. I loved that it was a one-pot meal, making cleanup a breeze.

I've tried many risotto recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The addition of bacon adds a wonderful depth of flavor, and the instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This bacon risotto was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the smokiness of the bacon complementing the richness of the risotto. The texture was also spot-on, with the rice cooked to al dente perfection. I highly recommend
