Description

Creamy and buttery, this French Onion Butter Rice is packed with rich, savory flavors. Perfect as a side dish or on its own, it’s an easy-to-make comfort food that pairs well with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (or preferred type of rice): This serves as the base of the dish, providing the necessary texture and heartiness.
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup: This key ingredient infuses the rice with the signature flavor of French onion, making it rich and savory.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter: Adds creaminess and depth, enhancing the overall taste.
  • 1/2 cup water: Essential for cooking the rice to the right consistency.
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder: Offers an aromatic touch that complements the onions beautifully.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Provides a subtle heat that balances the dish.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, depending on soup’s saltiness): Enhances flavor, but be cautious as the soup may already contain salt.
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish): Adds a fresh, vibrant touch that brightens the dish.

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package instructions. This usually involves combining rice and water, bringing it to a boil, reducing the heat to low, and simmering for 15–20 minutes until water is absorbed.
  2. While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the French onion soup, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if needed) to the melted butter. Stir well and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, add it to the saucepan with the French onion butter sauce.
  5. Stir to evenly coat the rice with the sauce, ensuring every grain is infused with flavor.
  6. Let the rice and sauce simmer for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors further.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
