Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain rice (not instant)
- 1 (10 ounce) can French onion soup
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the rice mixture.
- Combine ingredients in baking dish: In an 8×8-inch or 2-quart baking dish, add the long grain rice, French onion soup, beef broth, and evenly distribute the sliced butter on top.
- Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the rice to begin absorbing the liquids and cooking evenly.
- Uncover and continue baking: Remove the foil after 30 minutes and bake the rice uncovered for an additional 30 minutes to let the top brown slightly and excess moisture evaporate.
- Fluff and serve: Once baked, remove the rice from the oven, fluff it gently with a fork to separate the grains, and serve warm as a delicious buttery side dish.
Notes
- Use long grain rice for best texture; instant rice will not yield the same results.
- Ensure the baking dish is adequately covered with foil to retain moisture during the initial baking phase.
- You can substitute beef broth with chicken broth for a lighter flavor if preferred.
- For a richer taste, use homemade French onion soup or check for low-sodium versions to control salt content.
- Let the rice rest a few minutes after baking before serving for better texture.
