Chef Chuck's Sausage and Red Pepper Risotto

Sausage and red pepper risotto, is a supreme comfort food on a chilly evening. Pull up a chair and sit for 20-25 minutes to make this meal in one pan. Risotto needs your constant attention to achieve a creamy smooth consistency. The wait is well worth it.

  2. Once again it's a fabulous dish to try. I did, with a few substitutions because I did not have peppers or beef broth on hand. But I did make this recipe using chicken broth, sweet sausage and some mushrooms. It was so good. I reposted to my blog.
