Ingredients

1½ cups white rice uncooked
1 packagae (2oz) French Onion Soup
1¾ cups Beef Broth
½ cup unsalted butter melted
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.
Take an 9x13 baking dish and add the uncooked white rice to it. Sprinkle the entire package of French Onion Soup over the rice.
1½ cups white rice, 1 packagae (2oz) French Onion Soup
Pour the beef broth over the rice and soup mix. Pour the melted butter evenly on the rice.
1¾ cups Beef Broth, ½ cup unsalted butter
Season the dish with salt and black pepper. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste if needed.
½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Gently stir all the ingredients in the baking dish to combine them. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the dish. This will allow the top to get a bit crispy and golden while still absorbing those delightful flavors. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered.
Once the Stick of Butter Rice is done baking, remove it from the oven. Garnish it with fresh parsley. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to ensure it's light and fluffy.

Notes

Storage:

To Store: Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

To Freeze: You can freeze this rice dish in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.

To Reheat: Reheat the rice in the microwave or on the stovetop with a bit of extra broth to keep it from drying out. Frozen rice can be reheated in the oven or microwave. Sprinkle a little extra beef broth or water over the top to keep the rice moist.

Tips:

Before using the uncooked white rice, it's a good idea to rinse it under cold water to remove excess starch. This will help ensure the rice cooks up light and fluffy.
The seasoning in this recipe can be adjusted to suit your taste.
Ovens can vary, so be sure to check the rice for doneness. It should be tender and have absorbed the liquids. If needed, you can bake for a few extra minutes if the rice is still slightly firm.
Feel free to substitute chicken broth or even vegetable broth in this recipe. It will change the flavor but will still be delicious.
