Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 cup beef consomme
- 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the uncooked rice, beef consomme, French onion soup, salt, and pepper. Stir these ingredients together until they are mixed.
- Cut the stick of butter into small pieces and scatter the pieces evenly over the top of the rice mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir the butter in.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not lift the foil during the first 50 minutes of baking.
- Remove the foil and fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use brown butter instead of regular butter.
- This recipe freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- You can substitute chicken broth for beef consomme if preferred, but the flavor profile will change.
