2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
