What if my Risotto isn't rehydrated?
Give it a little bit longer. Rehydration isn't an exact science, and factors such as altitude and ambient temperature can have an affect. Be sure to stir this meal well, as the thicker consistency of this dish requires a few extra stirs to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Are there a lot of mushrooms?
Short answer: yes. We load it with sautéed cremini mushrooms and cook the arborio rice in a mushroom stock. If you're not a fan of mushrooms, you may want to choose a different meal!

Our risotto was created the old-school way. Caramelize onions in olive oil, add the risotto and toast slightly, deglaze with white wine, slowly add stock. Boom. Finally, the basil pesto and sautéed mushrooms are added.

Good tasting comfort food at the end of the day.
Just the right serving size
My granddaughter son and I were backpacking in Indiana last week during her fall break, and thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom risotto.
I think the Risotto is my most favorite meal, it is tasty and feels creamy in my mouth. I buy them in the cup as well, these are great for a quick snack when you missed lunchtime and you are really hungry but don't want to eat too much before dinner.
Funny side story, I left one of these within my dog's grazing range (he's very short, so...), and he ate almost the whole envelope of Risotto. I was concerned for a little while wondering if it would expand in his tummy!! But he just had a belly ache for a few hours and was fine. He really liked the Risotto though, found him shopping in the kitchen a few days later and he found a Risotto Cup, but I took it away before he ate it!! So it is loved by Junior too!
One of the Go-To Good To-Go entree’s!
This is definitely a winner. We're lucky enough to live in great mushroom foraging country in SW Colorado so we add some dried chanterelles and make it a gourmet meal.
