Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Add the rice to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Pour the French onion soup and beef broth over the rice. Gently stir to cover the rice.
  • Place the stick of butter on top of the rice mixture.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about 1 hour.
  • After baking, remove the foil and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in any buttery spots.

Notes

If you peek too often while baking, you will lose steam. This dish can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of broth or water.
