French Onion Butter Rice (Print-Friendly Version)
Indulgent rice infused with French onion soup and butter, baked to golden perfection for an elevated side dish everyone will love.
# Ingredients List:
01 -
1 cup long grain white rice, uncooked
02 -
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed French onion soup
03 -
1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth or water with beef bouillon
04 -
½ cup unsalted butter, sliced into pats
05 -
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (optional)
06 -
Salt and pepper, to taste
07 -
Chopped parsley or shredded cheese (optional garnish)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your baking dish.
02 -
In the baking dish, combine the rice, French onion soup, beef broth, and chopped onions (if using). Stir to evenly distribute.
03 -
Place the butter slices evenly across the top of the rice mixture. This ensures it melts evenly and infuses every bite with flavor.
04 -
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
05 -
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.
06 -
Let sit for a few minutes, then fluff gently with a fork. Garnish as desired and serve warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use long-grain rice – It holds up well during baking without turning mushy
02 -
Don’t skip the foil – It traps steam and helps the rice cook evenly
03 -
Let it rest after baking for at least 5 minutes before serving
04 -
Taste and adjust seasoning – Add extra salt or a dash of garlic powder if needed
