Ingredients
1 ¼ cups long-grain rice, uncooked
14.5 oz can beef broth
10.5 oz can French onion soup
1 stick cold butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the baking dish:
Spread the uncooked long-grain rice evenly across the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish, creating a flat layer.
Add the liquids:
Pour the beef broth evenly over the rice. Then add the French onion soup, spreading it across the dish. Do not stir, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors gradually during baking.
Add the butter:
Slice the cold butter into small pats and distribute them evenly across the top of the rice mixture.
Bake covered:
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Bake uncovered:
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 25 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Garnish and serve:
Remove from the oven, gently fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
Use long-grain rice for the best fluffy texture.
Avoid stirring before baking so the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the broth gradually.
For extra flavor, sprinkle shredded Gruyère or Parmesan cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, steak, pork chops, or grilled vegetables.
