What's not to love about risotto? If you're as big of a fan as we are of this Italian dish, try our take on it: sweet potato risotto. When you're in the mood for a gooey, creamy, garlicy, cheesy dish, this lightened dish will hit the spot but won't blow your Budget. Plus, the addition of sweet potatoes gives it a nice fall twist, so it could also work really well as a side to your holiday meal. It takes just under an hour to make enough for 8 servings, so this is an excellent choice for meal-prepping as well.
