Here is how you make Slow Cooker Black Bean and Corn Risotto:

Saute onion and bell pepper in a small pan with olive oil. When the veggies have softened, toss them, the beans, and corn into the crock pot. Add 1 cup of Arborio rice (can be found in your ethnic food section). Toss to combine. Add spices and stock and stir again. Cover with lid and cook for 1.5-2 hours on HIGH. (It takes 1 hr and 45 mins with my slow cooker, but I think mine runs a bit hotter than most). Risotto is done when it is creamy and soft. Mix in Cheese at the very end and serve immediately!
