Risotto with ground meat

I one time I made risotto in a cooking class in Hollywood, I loved it. But super time intensive dish and you have to spend most of the time watching the dish otherwise it won't taste as good. But you know, once you put so much love and effort into making something it is bound to taste good.

Yet again there are more good things about risotto. Its a one pot dish, highly satisfying and super creamy heart warming :)
