You don't have to be Italian to love this sausage-laced risotto winner!!
What You'll Need
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound bulk hot Italian sausage
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, quartered
- 1 (14½-ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups long- or whole-grain rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 (14-ounce) can ready-to-use beef broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
What to Do
- In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and onion and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until no pink remains in the sausage, crumbling the sausage as it cooks.
- Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, and garlic powder and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
- Add the rice, water, and broth. Cook, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until well blended. Serve immediately.
Notes
This is enough for 6 to 8 side dishes, but remember that it serves fewer as a main course.
