Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup Long Grain Rice, uncooked
- 14.5 oz can of Beef Broth
- 10.5 oz can of French Onion Soup
- 1 stick of Butter, cold
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature.
- Prepare Rice Layer: Spread the uncooked long grain rice evenly in an 8×8 inch baking pan to create a uniform base layer.
- Add Broth and Soup: Pour the beef broth and French onion soup over the rice, making sure the rice is fully submerged to cook properly.
- Add Butter: Layer cold pats of butter evenly over the mixture to add richness and flavor as it bakes.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking pan tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes until the top turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use an 8×8 inch baking pan for optimal cooking and even rice distribution.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth if available.
- Ensure the butter is cold and cut into pats for even melting during baking.
- Covering the dish helps rice cook evenly by trapping steam.
- This recipe pairs well with roasted meats or a fresh green salad.
