Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup Long Grain Rice, uncooked
- 14.5 oz can Beef Broth
- 10.5 oz can French Onion Soup
- 1 stick Butter, cold (8 tablespoons)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Prepare Rice Base: Spread the uncooked long grain rice evenly in an 8×8 inch baking pan, creating an even layer for uniform cooking.
- Add Liquids: Pour the beef broth and French onion soup over the rice, coating it well to ensure the rice absorbs all the rich flavors.
- Add Butter: Distribute cold pats of butter evenly over the mixture to add richness and help achieve a golden crust while baking.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking pan tightly with foil to trap moisture and bake for 25 minutes, allowing the rice to start cooking through.
- Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the rice is fully tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the baked rice before serving to add a pop of color and fresh herb flavor.
Notes
- Use cold butter pats to help create a golden-brown crust during baking.
- If you prefer softer rice, you can cover and bake for a few extra minutes.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats or a fresh green salad.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
