- 1 can condensed French onion soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 can condensed beef broth soup (10.5 oz)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice (rinsed, not instant)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking.
- Prepare baking dish: Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Rinse rice: Rinse the white rice thoroughly with water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, ensuring fluffier cooked rice.
- Place rice in dish: Spread the rinsed rice evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Add soups: Pour both condensed French onion soup and beef broth soup over the rice, distributing evenly.
- Stir: Gently stir the rice and soups together with a mixing spoon to combine flavors without breaking the rice grains.
- Add butter: Place the stick of butter on top of the mixture, allowing it to melt during baking for added richness.
- Cover and bake: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes to allow the rice to absorb flavors and cook through.
- Remove foil and stir: Carefully remove the foil, stir the mixture gently to redistribute moisture, and continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes until the rice is tender and slightly caramelized on top.
- Final stir and serve: Stir the baked rice one last time before serving hot, enjoying its savory, buttery goodness.
Notes
- Ensure the rice is not instant for proper texture and cooking time.
- You can add shredded cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
- Adjust baking time slightly for different oven calibrations or rice types.
