Ingredients

  • 1 cuplong-grain white rice: Acts as the foundation (absorbing flavors and providing texture.)
  • 1can (10.5 ounces French onion soup: Infuses the rice with a deep, savory flavor.)
  • 1can (10.5 ounces beef consomme: Enhances the richness and adds a robust beefy taste.)
  • ½ cup1 stick or 113g butter, sliced into 9 equal-sized pats: Introduces a creamy texture and a buttery flavor that binds all the ingredients together.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F and prepare your baking dish with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Combine: In the baking dish, mix the uncooked rice with the French onion soup and beef consomme, ensuring the liquids evenly coat the grains.

  3. 3

    Butter Topping: Arrange the butter slices evenly over the rice mixture, following a 3x3 grid pattern to ensure equal flavor distribution.

  4. 4

    Bake Covered: Seal the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.

  5. 5

    Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 30 minutes until the rice is tender and fully cooked.

  6. 6

    Serve: Once done, fluff the rice gently before serving to ensure it's perfectly light and not clumped together.
