Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F and prepare your baking dish with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray.
  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. Butter Topping: Arrange the butter slices evenly over the rice mixture, following a 3x3 grid pattern to ensure equal flavor distribution.
  4. Bake Covered: Seal the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
  5. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 30 minutes until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
  6. Serve: Once done, fluff the rice gently before serving to ensure it's perfectly light and not clumped together.
