Since we have been focused on low carb eating, it has been a long time since I have done an Instant Pot Risotto Recipe. The other week, my sister and I went to our mom’s house to help her food prep for the week. My mom had some mushrooms and bacon that she needed to use, so we decided to use those ingredients to make a Risotto Recipe. I have said this pretty much in each of my Risotto Recipe posts, but it still holds true – the Instant Pot makes perfect Risotto (without all the mixing)! My mom and dad both loved this Mushroom Risotto! If you love mushrooms and risotto – this recipe is for you!
