- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 10 ounce can French onion soup
- ½ cup unsalted butter, sliced into 12 slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare an 8 x 8 inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix broth and soup mix: In a bowl, stir together the beef broth and the Lipton onion soup mix until well combined, creating a flavorful broth base for the rice.

- Add butter and cover: Place the sliced unsalted butter evenly over the rice mixture. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in during baking.
- Bake covered: Bake the covered dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquids and flavors.
- Bake uncovered: Carefully remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 30 minutes to let the top slightly brown and the dish to finish cooking.

- For best results, use long grain white rice as it cooks evenly and absorbs flavors well.
- Ensure the baking dish is tightly covered with foil to trap steam and cook the rice properly.
- You can substitute beef broth with vegetable or chicken broth if desired, but the flavor will vary.
- Butter adds richness and helps create a creamy texture; do not omit or replace with margarine for best flavor.
