So good and so easy! Not having to stir is a big bonus. I used Arborio rice which made it creamier.

My family loves this recipe!! I make it exactly as written, except I use risotto rice instead of regular rice. I actually cook it a little longer too to make the rice more tender. It comes out very creamy and cheesy. It is a staple in our house for the past few months. Thank you for sharing!

I just made this with 2 tbls olive oil, arborio rice, sweet yellow onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1 teas. coarse salt, 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms and 6 oz. chicken, precooked. Added pine nuts, salt and pepper to taste at the end and some white truffle oil. Texture was perfect and flavor very good. I'll make this again! I think the arborio rice is the secret to the texture.

I tweaked this recipe and it turned out AMAZING!! I made it with 2 cups of arborio, added garlic powder before liquid, added 2 boullion cubes to 2 cups of water, cooked for 7 min, then used 2 cups skim milk for the rest of the liquid. Added grated parm with the milk (didn't have any fresh) and shredded mozzarella just before serving. Sooooo good!!

This does sound like a very easy and tasty base recipe. But I do believe that it is more a rice pilaf than a risotto.

This is not a Risotto recipe but a decent rice recipe. I use chicken broth and a little extra bouillon for extra flavor. I serve it with a flavorful Lemon Chicken. It compliments it well. ***

Easy and Yummy! I made as written except i cooked rice in chicken broth instead of water and small amount of bouillon. i also substituted onion for 1/4 t of onion powder. I will make this instead of buying the packaged rice side dishes from now on!

My roommate loved this cheesy goodness. Mixed 4 cups water with 2 bouillon cubes and set it aside. Fried half a (yellow sweet, that's all I had) onion (diced) and two crushed cloves of garlic. Mixed in the bouillon, doubled the pepper and added 1/4 cup more cheese (Parmesan, Romano, Asiago mix). Delicious! :)
