Love this! So easy in the crockpot. My entire family gobbles it up every time I make it. It saves so much time using the crockpot and comes out perfect.

I made this in a pan the traditional way you would make risotto. I combined the mushroom soup and 4 cups of beef stock and brought it to a simmer. I sauted the rice in 2 Tbsp of butter until translucent and then added the wine (I used white Zin. because I was out of white wine. When most of the wine was absorbed, I added the soup/stock mixture 2 ladles at a time until it was all absorbed. It took about 20-30 minutes total and was a fine side dish for the steaks I made for dinner.

After reading all the comments regarding this I was dying to try my hand at it. (For the record, I don't count negative reviews from people that don't have the nerve to sign their own name.

I have a brand new Hamilton Beach slow cooker. This recipe was perfectly done in 2 hours and 10 minutes. The rice was al dente, it was perfectly creamy. I added a little more seasoning but both my husband and I LOVED it.

Unfortunately, my meatloaf wasn't even close to being finished.

I turned the slow cooker off when the rice was perfect, but the rice continued to soak up the liquid and by the time the meatloaf was finished it was like glue.

I will definitely make it again. I'll just plan on a 2-hour & 10 minute cooktime.

Sandra, I'm curious if taking the rice out of the cooker would have saved it? Any other ideas??

Mine turned out mush like some other reviewers but I think that can be remedied with a shorter cook time. I used good Pinot Grigio and loved the added wine flavor. Chopped flat leaf parsley finished it off nicely. I will make this dish again!

ps. I agree that this forum should not be used for nasty comments. I check the reviews for constructive criticism and tips to make the recipes as good as they can be. It should not be used to badmouth a perfectly nice hardworking woman.

this was the worst tasting mess i have ever tasted. my wife fixed this for dinner and she is a very good cook, but even she could not save this mess. the taste was nothing to brag about, but the texture was the worst. if you like cement, spackle, glue, paste, this is the recipe for you. don't waste your time nor your money on this. it was so bad, my wife removed all of Sandra's recipes from her recipe box. oh and btw, she only cooked this mess for an hour and a half, i can't imagine how mushy it would have been if she had cooked it for the time shown.

I hate to say it but I hated this recipe. I made it as a side dish for lunch with my girlfriends from high school and I couldn't even serve it. I made plain rice instead and pretended that this never happened.

It tasted so fake.

this is a quick and easy risotto! all that i add to this recipe is a stick of unsalted sweet butter 1/2 an hour before cooking time is over. i find it to be unflavorful without the butter.

The risotto was very salty and had the texture of wet concrete. I blame the crockpot. Would probably be better off done on the stove top. Also, I didn't like how long it took. I had to stay in the kitchen tending to it for hours.
