Scale
Rice and Liquids
- 1 1/4 cup Long Grain Rice, uncooked
- 14.5 oz can Beef Broth
- 10.5 oz can French Onion Soup
Butter and Garnish
- 1 stick of Butter, cold
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dish.
- Arrange Rice: Evenly spread the uncooked long grain rice in an 8×8 inch baking pan to ensure it cooks uniformly.
- Add Broth and Soup: Pour the beef broth over the rice, followed by the French onion soup, distributing both evenly across the rice.
- Layer Butter: Slice the cold butter into pats and place them evenly over the rice and liquid mixture to add richness and moisture as it bakes.
- Bake Covered: Cover the pan with tin foil to trap steam and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 25 minutes to brown and finish cooking the rice.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the baked rice before serving warm, adding a touch of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use an 8×8 inch baking pan for even cooking.
- Do not stir the rice after adding liquids and butter to ensure proper baking texture.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef broth and French onion soup with vegetarian alternatives.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
