Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed French onion soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can beef broth
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into pats
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the rice mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized baking dish, combine the uncooked rice, condensed French onion soup, and beef broth. Stir the mixture gently to evenly distribute the rice within the liquid base.
- Add Butter: Arrange the sliced pats of butter evenly over the top of the rice mixture, ensuring a rich buttery flavor throughout the dish.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove Foil and Continue Baking: After 30 minutes, remove the foil carefully and continue baking the rice uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been fully absorbed.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to set. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving for a light, airy texture.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, consider stirring in cooked mushrooms or a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce before baking.
- Top with fresh chopped herbs like parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
- This butter rice pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, steak, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
