Description
If you’re searching for a side dish that’s rich, comforting, and packed with deep flavor, look no further than this French Onion Butter Rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup (condensed)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth (or water with beef bouillon)
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into pats
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or shredded cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your baking dish.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
In the baking dish, combine the rice, French onion soup, beef broth, and chopped onions (if using). Stir to evenly distribute.
Step 3: Add the Butter
Place the butter slices evenly across the top of the rice mixture. This ensures it melts evenly and infuses every bite with flavor.
Step 4: Cover and Bake
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 5: Uncover and Finish Baking
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20–25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Step 6: Fluff and Serve
Let sit for a few minutes, then fluff gently with a fork. Garnish as desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use long-grain rice – It holds up well during baking without turning mushy
- Don’t skip the foil – It traps steam and helps the rice cook evenly
- Let it rest after baking for at least 5 minutes before serving
- Taste and adjust seasoning – Add extra salt or a dash of garlic powder if needed
